Hello and welcome to the Pentax Forums Post-Processing Challenge!
For those that are new around here the challenge is based on a person being selected from the previous challenge to provide a full size photo (typically in both RAW & jpeg). The host provides any details and expectations on the challenge like what they are looking for, total number of submission per person taking the challenge or maybe a 'just go for it'.
Usually the challenges run for about a week or so with timings aimed to be flexible as we all have lives outside the forums. At the end of the challenge the host reviews the submissions and chooses their favourite. That person then becomes the next host for the following challenge. Some hosts also provide PP feedback too but this is an individual thing so it's welcome but not a must for the host.
Hopefully you take the opportunity to join us and see how many interpretations can be made from the one image.
Some details about this image:
This was captured with the K-1 and the HD D-FA 150-450. It was captured on a day with a lot of salt spray that has softened the scene somewhat but at 100% there's detail to work with. So the image looks like a simple challenge but when you get into working on an image with so many naturally occurring challenges getting the best out of this image isn't as easy as it seems. So, are you up to the challenge?

For this challenge:
- If you have any problems accessing the files please PM me so I can fix it quickly.
- Post as many versions as you like but I'd appreciate it if you stick to 3 per person please as I like to provide feedback on each one.
- Crop as much as you want however remember that the closer you crop the more obvious the salt spray softening appears.
- I expect the final versions represent the scene on the day where the waves were really rolling in as they were from a cyclone off the east coast of Australia (it side-swiped us so the surfers were going nuts this weekend).
- The challenge is open for approx one week from Saturday 15 September closing on Sunday 23 September (in Australia which should be Saturday for Europe and the Americas).
- We are hoping for plenty of submissions but understand that sometimes life gets in the way. If you can't be host let the challenge host know as soon as you can please.
