Post-Processing Post-Processing Challenge #192

**todd** · 09-07-2016, 05:09 PM - **2 Likes**

Thanks JHfwp for hosting the last round.

Decided to continue in the same line as JHfwp to find something challenging to serve you. First priority was something dark (and sinister), next priority was something that Godzilla could visit, in case he happens to be in the area... The final three shots I narrowed it down to had a couple FA20 shots that are nicer looking landscapes, but ultimately thought I had to go with this FA43 shot that seems like it might have more latitude and challenge.

Enter as many as you want (unless there was a rule made that I didn't notice. In that case follow the rules!)...

The deadline for additional entries to this challenge is a week from now, so 5pm Pacific, Wednesday September 14th, 2016. Have fun mwahahaha!

There is more color in there than I thought. Changed my mind. How about an over-processed HDR

Now let's try a old yellow faded look.

Been very, very busy these past few months and haven't had much of a chance to play. Enjoy! ( Good call on the water, it always puts my head in a better place!)

Excellent. You must have done a lot of masking on that one.

demondata - great crop and exposure choices. has a clean look that I like and appreciate the way you handled the foreground wave and highlights there.
Tas - I don't always like these types of worn print effects but your rendition I truly do like. You done it very well and effectively. I could pick this picture right up off my hippy coffee table.
JHfwp - I really like the look here. By not trying to bring it all the way up it has a kind of peaceful relaxed vibe to it thanks to the darker tones, and like the way you controlled the highlights. I first viewed this on my office monitor and it looked much different than here at home. Much nicer on my IPS monitor. I think a bit of a crop and/or leveling would have improved it imo...
Rimfiredude - both versions are creative and well done. It's difficult to pick between the two. At first I thought the old yellow version, but then as my eyes adjusted to the intensity of the HDR version, it caught up. Overall though I think the bw version is my pick of the two and a top contender.
Glenn5995 - a tighter crop which was genius. very clean result given the lift and detail, and really like the highlights/sun.
D1N0 - Dig the square crop and effective bw that has some drama to it. interestingly (to me) I first saw your version on my work monitor at the office where the highlights in the water were looking 'crunchy' so a bit distracting but here at home on my bigger nicer IPS monitor it's not a problem...
astonm - glad you could visit and appreciate how much you managed to pull out of the darkness and bunch to the right of the histogram with your version.
kevingun - overall nice colorful result. well done with the masking as noted, but something went down on the central vessel though and it looks to have caught fire... maybe that was the intention?

wildman - another impressively colorful version that attracted extra wildlife

I have to admit I am a bit sad that Godzilla seems to be hibernating, but I'm sure that Newport Beach appreciates this.

You all did very well imo, so thanks for taking the time and energy, and now the envelope please...
