What Would You Do (#54)

[Nicole]

Sorry for being a little late on the WWYD this week, only a day or two... Anyways, this week's photo is from wulf



Available larger

You mission, should you choose to accept it, is to take the photo in this post, edit it, come back and post it along with a description of what you did. Simple as that!

If you'd like your photo to be the subject of one of these threads, just drop me a PM with a link to the medium and large version of your photo and I'll use it in the order that I get it. I'm always happy to get another photo to add to the queue.

Now, let's see what you would do!

Just played with the levels, brightness and contrast, and selective colour Also burnt out some of the very bright bits


I have another idea so I will do another

A quick bit of background on the shot. I had gone out to capture the sunset and was on my way back. The sun was now below the horizon but there was still some light. As I passed a field, some inquisitive bullocks came towards the gate and stopped about 15' away. I took a number of shots at f/2.5 - the results were quite crisp but very underexposed.

I'm looking forward to more examples of what you can do!

ps. You can see the other shots I took that day; more from the evening plus a visit to a large garden while the sun was still shining.

This sure isnt anything special that I did. Crop. Apply fisheye filter. Used the warp brush to bug out the nose and eyes. Warp net to move the mouth around. Picture tube to give ol Bessy a flower. Selective sharpening

And another...


First I duplicated the layer, then I used the lasso tool to select the mouth/nose, enlarged them and distorted them to fit. I did the same with the ears and eyes. I then erased any edges that didn't quite blend
Does it look ok... or is it dodgy?

ETA: LOL Windrider We had the same idea

I did an unsharp mask, brightened alittle then did the time machine for an early 1800's look in PSP Photo X2.

Fun shot to edit this week! I decided to go the black and white route, giving it also a bit of a movie feel.



What I did (in PSP XI):
-Cropped
-Curves adjustment (brightened)
-Desaturated (100%)
-Unsharp mask (radius 75, strength 25)
-High Pass Sharpen (radius 75, strength 12, overlay blend)
-Histogram midtones adjustment (-15)
-Adjusted shadows (12)
-Applied cross-processing filter (strength 10)
-One final curves adjustment (contrast)
-Depth of Field selective blur (edges)
-Added black borders

Here is mine - I just could not stop laughing - hope you do not mind me making a joke of your photo - I'll also try and do a serious one later on...



I selected the right side of photo and added an average blur, adjusted the colors, copied and pasted in the chicken(found at www.freefoto.com) and then added the captions.
