I'll try and put something together!

Thank you, Liz. Do you have any thoughts re discontinuing this challenge in the future.
August 29th, 2021
@ethelperry Don't worry, Ethel. I have noticed that there are several challenges that have a small number of entries. Perhaps it's because of the summer holidays, children's vacations. As long as there is at least one entry, the challenge goes on.

@ethelperry I will post some the next few days Ethel, it would be such a pity to discontinue it ;-)
August 29th, 2021
Can you explain what it is? I knew a long time ago but have totally forgotten what ETSOOI means!
August 29th, 2021
@stownsend It's 'edit the sorriness out of it' (polite version), as I've tried to do with this one :)

@stownsend You used to be so good as these Suzie :-)

@spanishliz Thank you! Now I remember. Fun stuff!

@ludwigsdiana Thank you, Diana! I will give it a try.

I do not think that it has had its' day but I have noticed that there is a decline in entries in all the challenges.
I am of the opinion that you run with the entries you have and not to worry about the quantities. If there are only five members who entered, then they all get short listed!

noooooo.... I love this challenge! things tend to ebb and flow of late... i think we should keep this one going, even if only a few are playing...

@ethelperry I tagged a couple for you. Hope it helps. There aren't too many entries for other little challenges too.
August 30th, 2021
@ethelperry I tagged a couple also.

Imho, challenges are the heartbeat of 365. They inspire creativity, encourage us to try something we might not otherwise have done, force us out of our comfort zone and, in general, make us better photographers. So I agree with @monikozi, @northy and @farmreporter. Keep them all going even if there aren’t many entries. Also, kudos to @monikozi for putting out the weekly SH*T list. It is a big help for keeping up with current challenges.

@cdcook48 Much obliged for the shoutout. I'm glad I can help.

Hi everyone - I just read all of your comments and have to agree with them all. This is a super challenge - it really gives you a chance to enhance your processing skills. I have, though, often wondered what the original images looked like. Would it be a stupid idea to suggest that maybe the entries could show both the before and after version in a simple diptych or collage? Could it help create a bit more interest? Just a thought. Cheers Rob

@robz I rather like that idea.
August 31st, 2021
@robz Sounds like a plan!

@robz
I have also wanted to see just how much ETSOOI'ing was done to save a photo. A before and after shot is good but I would prefer to see the full size shot rather than a smaller diptych or collage. But - that may be just me and I will go with whatever everyone thinks.

Here is the original and the processed shot.

@lstasel A very good example to show where the conversation is heading. Thank you, Laura.
September 1st, 2021
Yes - that's so good - it really shows all the skills you've used to transform that image!

Sorry, I only posted 12 photos last month, been “that kind” of a time lately. None of them were remotely ETSOOI. I’ll try and use this reminder to spur me on.
