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: From Little Athletics Queensland 2013 South-East Queensland Regional Relays. This was the start of the U13 Boys Distance Relay race. There are 4 different relay legs: 200m, 200m, 400m, 800m. There were 2 U12 runners, including my son, the 1st runner (normally an U12 400m runner), "running up" in this older age bracket in the two 200m legs to make up a 4-boy team. (They set a new LA SEQ U13 record in this event.)
K-5, DA*60-250/F4 @ 80mm FL, 1/1000s, f/6.3, ISO160, -1 EVcomp.
There are two shots. You can use either. The 2nd shot is either 4 or 6 steps later than the first. (The EXiF shows 1s later.) Unfortunately, this was a big meet and the trackside was crowded so I couldn't position myself any further forward in front of the runner or with the sun behind me.
The embedded JPEGs (no processing) and the PEFs:

The red tartan track material reflects coloured light up onto the runner. It confused the AWB. I couldn't get a decent colour rendition when developing the PEFs so I B&W them. Perhaps you can do better.
