1. I would like to give a brief about the challenge so the voters know what the criteria is. With so many acronyms floating around, I think it is almost necessary.
ETSOOI is an acronym for Edit The S--t Out Of It. So, the main criteria is to edit a picture to the contestant's heart's content. This week's theme is 'Magical' and I asked to interpret anyway you like when I had set up the challenge which for example could mean supernatural, spellbound, fascinating, captivating, enchanting, etc.
2. Please take a few minutes to go and read the stories behind these pictures if possible, because sometimes the term Magical represents how the photographer feels about the photo/subject matter and may not be immediately evident for someone viewing it.
Voting for number 1.
Reminds me of Harry potter and Aragog, the enchanted spider in the forest
