The link works fine for me.

I thought I'd save them a bit of a walk

Moi, I'm glad you could get the picture! Nice edit.

* Boosted saturation
* Rotating mirror effect- upper corners and then lower corners. Cloned corners that were blue to green
* Geometric effect-circle-transparent
* 3-d effect drop shadow until i liked where it was at. merged layers

what would you do

First Time playing this but basically cropped, cleaned up the grass, removed the people and trash cans. Then I felt like clouds would look better, so I added some. All done with CS3

DPS - What would you do?

Copied the people out into new layers, offset them a bit, luminosity blending down to about 50% opacity. Copied out the funky sections, set blending to either dodging or burning, some of them have hue adjustments. Bumped the saturation on everything, then threw in a cross-process curve layer. Quick and dirty.

My very poor attempt, this is why I don't do much in PP on any of my photos, but I guess its fun to play with now and again!

Cropped photo, adjusted curves so it was similar to a HDR, used cut/paste to move bits of sky, grass, and rock around. Used smudge to even lines out a bit, then did a Gaussian blur over the whole thing.

Default The Picture I Thought I Took . . .

WWYD41X

Eight layers, separate adjustments:

- Crop to upper right, clean the background, skew to portrait
- Separate each person onto a layer, add new shadows
- Rearrange people, to fit new background
- Apply two gradient dark layers to focus attention towards fort

windrider86, funky! Neat edit!

Wanman, you are right...the sky definitely needed clouds! Excellent work, I love it.

jdepould, cool effects!

KodiakStar, simple yet effective! Nice rule of thirds crop.

jiminyClickit, impressive as usual! I like the depth it adds to the shot.

I'm not very good at this, but anyway...

Cropped, cloned bad grass, signs, other ppl etc. Overlayed a blurred layer. Overlayed a gradient layer. Added a bit of a sunburst. I think that's it.
