Post-Processing PP Challenge #121 Winners

Adam · 09-18-2014, 01:33 AM

First, let's start with some honorable mentions. I really liked @dcshooter 's entries (both versions) because the edits made the photo more interesting without adding anything too artificial.

I also enjoyed @schnitzer79 's entry (as well as the flying Pentax banner) because the watercolor effect along with a panoramic crop makes the lighting look less flat, and the composition more interesting.

Finally, our winner and the host of next week's challenge is @wildman , who really took advantage of the 645Z's resolution and isolated the most interesting part of the scene.

I was very happy to see so many submissions in our PP challenge resurrection. See you in the next challenge!

my vote went to wildman as well. good eye and clever cropping!!

wildman · 09-18-2014, 03:12 PM

Well dang I won and I really didn't expect to. Thank you.
BTW the way what does a "Host" do? - I really don't have a clue.

My own personal choice would have been this one - very high level work I think:

You're our next host, so pick a photo & start challenge #122 in a separate thread with that photo

Let me know if you need any help with that.

At the bottom of Adam's challenge, you will find the following information:

**********************************************
Information for the next host (file upload site):
The MediaFire website is: mediafire.com
The log in name is: pentaxchallenge @ yahoo.com
The password is: postprocessing

This is a free hosting site for your full size Raw and JPEG files. You post the link for each file in your challenge along with the web size version of the photo. You also need to post the "Next Host" information at the bottom of your challenge.

That's the easy part. The hard part is picking the winner. I am looking forward to working on your image.

Tim
