Welcome to this weeks editing challenge!
First a message from this week's file submitter, whitelotus9:
The photo was taken on July 13, 2014 at the Lakeside Park at Lake Tohopekaliga in Kissimmee, Florida. We locals refer to the lake as “Lake Toho”.
The photo was taken with my Nikon D7000 using a 18-70mm lens that I had bought for it based upon that lens reputation for delivering sharp images.
Dropbox file:
Dropbox - DSC_0018.NEF - Simplify your life
And then the rules:
The challenge is weekly, a new thread with a new raw (preferably) or jpg fine file for each week.
Cutoff time for submissions is midnight between sunday and monday pst (UTC-8).
This is a round-robin challenge, the order of submitting the week’s raw file is based on an alphabetical list of applicants’ user names. If the next submitter on the list is unable to post at his/her turn he/she may ask the thread master to be moved down the list no later than friday morning. Late applications will be added at the bottom of the list.
We will revise this when every applicant has had a go, and perhaps change this model.
The submitter for the week must make the file along with any specific text for the post available to the thread master during the weekend preceding the challenge week. The thread master will then copy the file to a Dropbox location for the challenge and make the starting post for the week.
Images provided, as well as the images resulting from the challenge remain the sole property of the photographer who took them. Those participating in the editing challenge may not use or display the photo outside the challenge thread.
The owner of the photo declares a winner after the challenge is over.
As this challenge is a tool for learning and inspiration, multiple entries are not only ok, but encouraged if a participant gets a new idea for how to present or interpret the photo, including artistic interpretations.
Participants must share how they have achieved their take on the photo.
Participants are explicitly not limited as to what software is used for the challenge.
