The lighting in this one reminded, for some reason, of the old velvet paintings from the 70s. I used my step-by-step Lightroom preset to preprocess the PEF file. I then moved it into Dynamic Photo HDR where I filtered it and adjusted the contrast curves. I finally moved it back into Lightroom and applied a white poster type border. I present, for your enjoyment, SeasonsVelvet:

I really need to go out more often. I spend too much time playing with the challenges.

For this, I used PS Elements 6 to cut the ladies and then pasted them on to a photo I found on the internet. I wanted to change the background to something more entertaining.

Mate, I'll have to wait for your entry as we seem to be a little low on patronage this week.

I agree, you should give people a few more days to submit an entry. I'd like to see what others can create.

Go for it Ash. I think these should be run on a week or a minimum entries basis anyway. No hurry after all...

Yes, no problems.
I'll wait for let's say 6 or more entries to flow through, and the next time I see the thread reaching quorum, I'll close the competition for judging.

Cheers.

Another one for fun- the girls are on a stroll, strutting their stuff, when they meet their ol' buddy Jabberjaws who's so happy to see them! Jabberjaws 3d render and background from a quick Google images search. He just rocked.

Edited- decided to put this all in it's proper context- an old 1980's TV! I probably watched this on a 70's TV, but just did a quick and dirty..
