"EXTREME PROCESSING" PHOTOGRAPHY CHALLENGE -- ROUND 2

[regnaD kciN]

Poll question: "EXTREME PROCESSING" PHOTOGRAPHY CHALLENGE -- ROUND 2

This special Photography Group Challenge is on the subject of "Extreme Processing." In other words, what entrants here have done with their photographs using post-processing techniques (usually involving some form of image editor) to make the final result a significant departure from the original photo, as well as a pleasing image in its own right.

Each entry consists of the final ("after") image, plus a smaller version of the original photo ("before").

The top two finishers in each preliminary round will move on to the finals, along with the next two images with the next highest overall vote totals.

We'll be keeping the polls up through Saturday.

14. Hidden Beauty is a great job of altering color. Great choices and

light manipulation.

Good Grief is right up my alley. Whimsical, fun collage! Wondering why we didn't see more collagey-type stuff.

Raptor stole my heart. I've got a black cat & know how hard it is to get a good photo to start with. Whoever did the altering knows the computer program. End photo gives us an animal character that's very powerful.

Rainbow Rays also shows pretty darned good command of the computer program.
