Ok, all the results are in... firstly my thanks go to all the folk that participated and viewed. I feared the worst for hosting this week, after the outstanding challenge and response of last week.
So I found what I hoped would be an interesting image, then I "monkeyed" about with the file settings... i.e. applied minus values to the Exposure, Blacks, Texture, Dehaze, while increasing the values of Contrast, Highlights, Whites, Clarity, Skew Distortion... thus giving us all a start point to play with.
A few wee comments on submissions, purely in the order they were submitted... that caught my eye.
graeme83 - Achieved what I would describe as almost a vintage film look about his image... yes and I'm old enough to remember that first time around.
Glenn5995 - A very natural look of a typical Scottish day.
tuggie76 - The addition of wildlife... now that's different. Local residents here tend to of the more majestic variety mind.
Pelto - Very nice feel to the image indeed, as if your were there.
ThorSanchez - An introduction of Winter with an added overall cool feeling... I like that.
xs400 - Inclusion of an interesting sky... I wish we did have more like that here for real.
Tsuken - I'm with you, I feel it does need a bit of sky, so I prefer your first image of the pair.
So all that being said... I'm gonna go with Pelto's submission as the winner of the "Big Cigar" this week and runner up ThorSanchez, well done to you both and thanks again to everyone else also.
