WWYD#2 (What Would You Do?)

[Peter Van Allen]

A big thanks to everyone for participating in this challenge, it's really good to see how everyone would process/edit the same image. A special thanks to Stacy (@SPace) for having a great idea and starting this, and of course thanks to everyone that took the time to vote.

This is this the second "what would you do?" apologies that it's a little late.

Entry to this competition starts on Wednesday (26th January) and will close Sunday night (23:59 GMT 30th Jan). 5 finalists will be chosen next week and we'll vote on the winner then.

Please do whatever you like with the photo, we want to see everyone's creative post-processing!



This shot was taken at Chesil Beach on the Isle of Portland, UK (my hometown)

There is only one file a jpeg SOOC: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19551600/ancient%20mariners%20original.jpg (just right click the link and "save source as".

I will choose the top 5 once this is over, and then put it to a vote. The winner will get to choose the next photo and do the judging!! Happy editing!

*Please tag your submission as WWYD2. It should be somwhere in your 365 album, even if you post back on the 2008 calendar. Otherwise, it's going to be difficult to view them all together.

multiple entries are fine!

Peter

ps. I'm gonna sit this one out and enjoy the show but this was my take on the original which I posted last june:

[Jaydee]

[Amy Evans]

[Robyn]

that's an awesome photo.... and so many possibilities. :-) congrats on your Win

[Mary]

This is so gorgeous!

[Dorrena Ortega]

Ok! Game on!

[Amy Evans]

Instantly, images of weathered and worn postcards went racing through my head. Here you go. Thanks Peter, this one was fun.

[Jen Sides (foursides)]

What a great image to start with!

[Robyn]

[richard saffold]

[Mary]

[Jennifer B.]

Congrats, Peter. This looks like a great shot to work with.

[Jeremy Vohwinkle]

Here's mine, subtle, but tipping my hat to the now extinct Kodachrome.

[Emily Robinson]

This is a great photo, Peter! It took me while to edit, cause I couldn't figure out how to improve it. I still think the SOOC version is the best.

[Rudi Teruel]

AWESOME IMAGE to start of with, peter..... so inviting....

[Emily Robinson]

@amyhughes WOW! I absolutely LOVE this.

[Tim Clark]

Feeback please? :D

[kylie newton]

[Tim Johnson]

[robinwarner]

can someone tell me how to post this shot on here if it is not posted on any of my projects? stupid question...but i cant figure it out

[Stacy ♥ DOF]

My attempt at tilt shift (miniatures) with Photoshop. :)

[Barbara Pizzo]

Here's my try.

[andiejaye]

@timpj love this!! it's tilt shift, right?? sooo cool!

[Gurdeep Rathi]

I wanted to give the picture an artist's impression - morning sun-rays reflected on a beach setting - all captured on a stamp ! I hope you like it !

[Tim Johnson]

@andiejaye Yes, but I like SPace's version better. Thanks!

[Tim Johnson]

[Tim Johnson]

@robinwarner I save the edited version on Flickr, and then post the html code from Flickr here in the reply box.

[Stacy ♥ DOF]

@robinwarner you can click on "how can i format my reply" and you'll use the URL of where you have it stored with the "img src" code listed.

[Ryan Stahle]

Here is my take on it.

[StephD]

Here's mine, loved the picture, it was fun to work with.

[Katherine Moore]

Here's my take!! Great pic in the first place!

[mary sybel evangelista]

here's my version of somewhat quite serene :)

[☮Lee Gordon☮]

heres mine :D

[Stacy ♥ DOF]

Another first for me -- tryng a technique to duplicate a Polaroid image lift....

[Nikkers]

Some people are tagging their photos with the # in the tag, when they do that , it will not be grouped with these photos. Just thought I'd let you know ...

[Brandy W.]

[Sarah Watson]

mine...

[Sarah Watson]

and my 2nd one :)

[Rafael Seño]

Here's my take on the photo >

[Wendy]

So I do have a flicker account I just don't know how to figure out how to upload something on there to here. I did my version & I think it's pretty cool any way. So different from the others for sure. I don't know how to post on these things. Do I just tag some how?

[Carrie Oakey]

Wow! You all are great! I need to learn how to use my photoshop.

[Leah Singh]

here's my go at it :)

[Heather (pixelchix)]

This is fun! Here's my take:

[Kirsty Ryan]

Love the idea of this contest!

[mimma_blue]

Here's mine. Thanks Peter for a stunning image to work with.... I may try a few of these ;-)

[Tom Stokes]

@petervanallen

[Emily Robinson]

My second one.

[cristina]

Here`s mine...

[Sam C-R]

suburbia.

[Vaderkip]

My contribution. Cheers all.

[Amy]

[Marinade Spatula]

@pixelchix Very cool version heather.

[Marinade Spatula]

@anew30 Excellent - soooo serene.

[Amy]

Here's my other take on it. This contest is so cool and it is helping a complete noob like me learn how to do post processing. This is fun and educational - awesome!

[Amy]

@stoksy ~ that is such a nifty effect!

[Dennis Dantic]

This is mine...

[Bella]

Oh there's some very cool effects!
This was my attempt at doing something like this

[Peter Van Allen]

Fantastic entries already , keep them coming

It's really interesting to see how other people would process/edit your originals, so insightful. It would be really great if everyone had this opportunity but I don't know how it could be achieved.

[Salma Tantawi]

Such a great original picture! I had fun playing around with it.

[Amy]

Going for a more desolate feel.

[Mary Poarch]

What a fun idea for a contest.
I've been playing around with GIMP for the last few days, so here is my contribution.

[LG]

Heres mine, am new to this whole editing thing so just giving it a shot :)

[Spaceman]

It allmost hurts not having a 2nd album.Once again,I had to upload on my FlickR,so I can`t really "win" ..

[Spaceman]

@georgia81
After you are done uploading on FlickR,you go to the photo,and in the left top corner of it,there are two boxes, "actions" and "share".
You click on "share",and from there you click on "grab the HTML/BBCode", and you`ll get a long link,wich you simply copy,and paste it here.
I also use FlickR for this,since I don`t have a second album here,and I want my project to contain only photos taken by me.

[Ria Ward]

So, its a really pretty photo, so i thought i'd pollute it for something different

[Loni W.]

Here's mine. Thanks for the opportunity Peter.

[Eric]

Ancient Mariners Planet

[Samantha Bell]

@sam_cr - love it, very original!

[Wendy]

hmmm... did this work? I tried copying & pasting the code.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/24360122@N07/5389669798/

[Sheila]

Here is my second submit.

[Carly]

heres my entry great photo to work with Peter :)

[Mary Poarch]

Here's another try. Although, I didn't do anything except put it into Photofunia, so I don't think this counts.
I like the look though.

[Dorrena Ortega]

[Peter Van Allen]

@georgia81 - Wendy, you have to copy the HTML/BBCode from the 'Share This' drop down option of your Flickr image and then paste it here in a reply

[Sherri Latza Stekl]

This is a lot of fun. Here's my entry:

[Paul Naylor]

@stoksy that is super cool. I had a sort of out of picture in my mind but ths shot blew it out of the water. Brilliant.

[isabel]

[Dennis Dantic]

Another version of my entry

[robinwarner]

[Carly]

Another try :)

[☮Lee Gordon☮]

and a second entry :)

[Dennis Dantic]

@asrai Very nice Lee!!!

[☮Lee Gordon☮]

@ddantic lol it looks like great minds think alike :D thanks

[Dorrena Ortega]

@ddantic --- WOW!!! Excellent idea! You will need to post it here on your calandar if you want it to be considered as a contender.

[Dorrena Ortega]

@stekl --- ACK!!!! I've found 4. ...... back to looking. ;-)

[Tim Johnson]

@georgia81 Above your photo in Flickr is a "share this" button. You will want to copy the html code and paste it here.

[Dorrena Ortega]

@sdpace ---- Ha! I was playing around with tilt-shift too but I wasn't happy with how mine looked. Love yours!

[Dennis Dantic]

@dmortega Thanks Dorrena, but I like to use my calendar as much as possible using my own photo. I have one already in my calendar which is the cube. Thank so much for your kind words.

[meike]

[Mary]

@ddantic This last one makes me very nervous!! Very cool!

[Dennis Dantic]

@marydreams Thanks... but sorry to make you nervous.

[Mary]

@ddantic Haha! That's okay!

[Paula x2 Brumbe]

Hope you enjoy the changes.

[Gurdeep Rathi]

Here's another take on the pic:

[Taylor Dawson]

I'm kinda new to editing like this so I'm definitely not too great at it, but I had fun trying. (:

[Gurdeep Rathi]

I love this version.. hope you do as well !

[Erica DeCola]

I titled this: Only In Thought :)

[Mary]

I am loving all of the creative takes on this photo!! @taylorlynae10 @shimpygk ...just to name a couple!

[Taylor Dawson]

@marydreams Thank you!

[Andrea Freeman]

[The Steve From 2010]

Love yours with the mushroom cloud @spaceman :D

Seems this is now officially a shooping tournament!

[The Steve From 2010]

Photoshop, you say?

[Charlotte]

@brionygrace wow absolutely love the clouds effect on top right! x

[Stacy ♥ DOF]

@eyebrows OMG LOL. You are so funny Mr. The Steve.

[The Steve From 2010]

@sdpace It was in honour of you and your original competition idea, yo!

[Jennifer]

@eyebrows i feel like this is something my cat would've done to me! nice job!

[Stacy ♥ DOF]

@eyebrows Well I am honored with a U.

[Wolfe]

[Gurdeep Rathi]

[Alecio]

[Dorrena Ortega]

[The Steve From 2010]

[Kristin Cruz]

@ddantic love the cube, very unique. :-)

[Chloe]

Gorgeous responses so far!

[Gurdeep Rathi]

Ever listed on NASDAQ ?

[Sam C-R]

@sbell2406 Thanks! x

[Melanie P]

[Mary]

@shimpygk LOVE it!! I have to wonder how you did this?

[Jessica Lynn]

[Zaimarie]

[Kim Ables]

[Wendy]

I am at a loss. I found where it said Grab the html/BB code but I don't know what to do next. I'm not much of a computer person. I just mostly know how to upload photos & surf the sites. So be patient with me as I learn this. I was able to click on the link I posted & look at the picture. Other than that I am confused. lol

Second entry:

[Annie Charalambous]

[Teresa (pocketmouse)]

These are stunning :)

[Peter Van Allen]

fantastic effort by everyone, this is going to be so difficult to choose just 5 images!

[stefanie foster]

[Amanda Thepanda]

I really liked the original and just injected a bit of Australian sunshine, blue skies and trpoical waters ;)

[FunnyFace]

Here's my take - whenever I see Peter's pics, he reminds me of when I spent a week in nearby Weymouth working and I always want to go back to the area. Its as pretty as a postcard there - hence my attempt at creating one.

[Annie Charalambous]

[Nathan Eames]

My take. I love the fun on here, a real sense of community.

[Kristin Cruz]

@barrymikhal Thank you so much! :)

[Dorrena Ortega]

Had to post it elsewhere, processing isn't my forte but thought I'd have a go, simple stuff!!

[Dave Schofield]

Doh! the link works but still...my flickr account won't let me upload anymore this month, facebook will have to do.

[Katy Long]

here is my second attempt : )

[Katy Long]

and the first. lol

[Ebba Alaq]

@dmortega
What did you used for this?

[Dorrena Ortega]

@photography --- picnik.com. I played around with the contrasts, color, and cropped. Fortunately the original photo is very receptive to cropping.

[Sarah Scott]

here's mine

[Ebba Alaq]

@dmortega Wow, I never thought that picnik could do all of this :P
anyway, thank you :)

[HUNNYBEE]

This is my thoughts on how it might look.

[Melissa Fay]

http://365project.org/purpleturtles/365/2011-01-08

trying to figure out how to do this :/

[Suse Fewster]

This looks a little pallid unless viewed in full screen, the masking detail on the houses gets a bit lost otherwise.



Thanks Peter for a fun shot to work with!

[Sarah White]

Nothing as amazing as others on this but here is my take:

[Flamez]

my version of the photo , fab photo to play with @petervanallen !!

[Dorrena Ortega]

[Marinade Spatula]

@dmortega I LOVE this one- It is really intimate and has a vintage feel about it.

[Rebecca Salisbury]

[stefanie foster]

[Slava]

What a wonderful photo to work with! Thanks, Peter! Here is my take on it:

[Kerry Bergman]

@petervanallen

This was so much fun. Thanks for allowing others the chance to play with such a great image!

[Peter Van Allen]

blimey, this is going to be tough to judge, so many excellent entries, gonna find it difficult to limit to only five finalists!

[aikiuser (jenn)]

How does one go wrong with such a great image to start with?!

[Mick Porter]

Attempt at tilt-shift:

[Loni W.]

@eyebrows Um, yours gets my vote! I love the cat!

[Cristina Eenkhoorn]

Wow!! These are amazing!! I'm completely overwhelmed and don't think I could even try my hand at this, lol. You guys are really talented.

[The Steve From 2010]

@shutterbug0810 Thanks Loni ;) :D Sadly we're not at the voting stage yet and I have a feeling my place in the final five is far from a certainty :P :(

[Rebbecca Castillo]

Thanks again Peter for allowing us to play with your lovely shot!

The guy who turned his picture into a cube is my favorite! lol

[Slava]

I am loving this challenge - so many different edits, and they are all so wonderful! Here is another entry of mine:

[Slava]

@sdpace This is really cool!

[Slava]

@eyebrows I love the cat, too! Everytime I see it, it makes me smile ;-) Great take on the photo, Steve! :-)

[Kim Crumbley]

@stoksy Very nice!

[Kim Crumbley]

@sdpace I like this one!

[Madeline Fontenot]

Here's my take on the WWYD2 picture?

[John Haskell]

looked like a big fun sandbox to me.

[Alecio]

[Alecio]

@sdpace I love yours!

[Cindy Ford]

@sdpace Love what you have done with this!

[William V Johnson]

@rebcastillo77 hey, I don't see how to upload to this. Could you help me out?

[Rebbecca Castillo]

@wmvjohnson if you are talking about putting it here in this thread you first need to add it to your album and copy and paste (use the share box on the right hand side of your screen toward the bottom). The date you add doesn't have to be from today it could be for any day. If you are talking about getting the original JPEG onto your computer copy and paste the link Peter gave into your browser bar and when the photo is on your screen right click and save. Hope that helps- can't wait to see what you come up with :D

[William V Johnson]

@rebcastillo77 thanks, it was about adding here; exactly what I needed to know.

[Rebbecca Castillo]

@wmvjohnson no prob :D

[Rebbecca Castillo]

@petervanallen my third contribution to this WWYD challenge titled:
A Walk To Remember

[FunnyFace]

@datsyukian fantastic shot!

[John Haskell]

@blightygal thank you Freida, this one was fun, lots of great interpretations.

[William V Johnson]

@rebcastillo77 sorry to ask--I see the share box, I've copied the link; now what do I do to post it here?

[Peter Van Allen]

@wmvjohnson - just paste it in the reply box below, add a comment too if you wish

[Cindy Ford]

[William V Johnson]

Some very talented and creative editors here. This is my take: Portland Tang

@petervanallen

[Charlotte]

simple colour selection of beach a couple of boats and the benches

[Suse Fewster]

This is my second go - I was at a loss for something to do and felt like playing with it some more. @alecio - WOW! I love your black and white version.

[Nicole Louise]

I'm still very new at this. So this is my first go at this. Hope you all enjoy =D

[Barbara Lamacki]

Here is the first of my two entries:

[Barbara Lamacki]

Here is my second version (which I like better).

[Rebbecca Castillo]

@petervanallen I was just wondering if it would be alright with you if I printed 2 of my entries from this challenge- the two with my children. I would only print a copy for myself of course, if not I totally understand.

[Peter Van Allen]

@rebcastillo77 - no probs becs

[Rebbecca Castillo]

@petervanallen that's great- thanks Peter !
