RAW competition 4

[Brian]

Closed!

Hello this is Round #4 for the RAW Competition.
Download the file, edit it and upload. Make sure to tag it with rawcomp4dmt

Here's the file:

Sony a99 Raw
My Raw File

DNG version- for those who cannot pull the Sony a99 raw into PS, LR 4, etc.
My DNG version


Add the tag:

rawcomp4dmt

Best three (or four) will be selected in a week (Nov 14th) for everyone to vote on.

This is a splash macro shot. I'll be looking at creativity, color, crop, spot healing, sharpness and noise reduction. Feel free to edit the colors, etc.

It's rather dull looking right now. Bring it to life!

Have fun.

Hello,

I cant see the File but I also dont completly understand what I have to do if I join do I need to take a macro photograph or somthing?

[Alexander]

I edited in Lightroom 5, which I'm still acclimatising to, coming from Photoshop. I still am only using basic features of Lightroom, but this hasn't come out too bad for about 5 minutes of effort!

Process on click through page.

@yvonnekishna I have trouble opening these in photoshop so use Lightroom.

You don't need to take a photo, just edit the one that is provided

[Brian]

@alisonp I added the DNG version. You should be able to open this in PS CS6 or PS Elements version 9+

@yvonnekishna There are two links "My Raw File" and "My DNG File." Click on one and download the file. Then edit and upload and tag it with rawcomp4dmt. That's all!

I had fun with this one. i have never worked on a Raw challenge before. I really like what was done already so I thought I would try my hand a a b/w edit.

Here is my edit! Thanks for this great image to work with!

[Frank Hymus]

Just corrected "as shot" and with a more pleasing vertical crop I trust. I like the symmetric placement of the big circle. And noise and spot removal, both of which I think distract significantly. Yes, even if the spots are droplets, most came out wrong I think. I wasn't trying for any color or subject adjustment, both of which I find pleasing.

@beatnikphoto This is my... colorful edit (I don't really know why it is so small):

Started in LIghtroom and futzed with tint and temperature. Then off to Photoshop where I applied a radial blur of the zoom variety. Back into Lightroom to crop and play with tint, temperature, whites blacks, saturation, and whatever else struck my fancy. Applied a little vignetting, et voila!
