*NEW* WWYD Challenge 154

March 21st, 2017
I am so sorry I'm late to the party on this! I just recently had surgery so I haven't been on here and had no idea that I won the last WWYD challenge. It was a tie between mine and @kathyboyles who had a wonderful entry as well. Thanks to those of you that voted for me and I apologize once again for my lateness in responding.

Thank you also to @yorkshirekiwi for hosting the last challenge. I guess it's up to me to pick a photo. I tried to pick a pretty noneventful photo that I have handy so I hope the one I chose will work okay.

In any event, here are the deets for those of you that are not familiar with how this challenge goes:

The challenge will run from today March 21, 2017 to the morning of April 5, 2017 - EST, USA. (2 weeks) Voting will take place thereafter and a winner announced shortly after a few days of voting.

So here are the rules:

- Save the starting image on your computer. NOTE: If you select the “Sizes” under the right-side menu and scroll down to the Original or Large option you can copy and paste to your browser or download.

- Upload the photo you edit to one of your albums and tag it WWYD154.

- You are also welcome to add your image to this discussion thread. Go to your edited photo, click on the arrow by your comment and fav numbers, copy the "embed" code on the left, and paste it here.

- Multiple entries are allowed.

- There are no editing rules. Edit the starting image any way you’d like. No editing software on your computer? No problem – go to a site like Picmonkey and upload/edit your pic for free. You won’t be able to use all the features but there are plenty you will be able to use.

Please use these WWYD Challenges to push yourself to try new editing techniques! If you’re just beginning work on tonality, color control, curves, detailing, sharpening, gradients and other effects. As you get more familiar with all the editing tools you can add things like dodge and burning, layers, masking and textures. As you push yourself even more move to image extractions and full compositions. Remember to keep pushing and learning, and most of all have fun along the way!

Here is the base image:

Fabulous photo to start with. Glad you are feeling better and back on 365.

Theme park idea?



BTW...is 550x367 the largest version of the photo available? It makes for tricky editing.

@houser934 I resized and uploaded again - not sure if this program shrinks it down again, but here it is hopefully as a bigger size:



and BTW, I love your idea :)

I though I'd let my pink flamingo from my garden make an appearance in this picture.
