Soooooo... erm... this was overprocessed in Lightroom... then zapped in silver efex and finally cross-processed in colour efex...
Probably a bad choice for etsooi'ing because despite my usual irreverance, it just seemed wrong to totally nuke our national flag...
for the etsooi weather challenge ("etsooi" for the uninitiated, means "edit the sh*t out of it" - something we do when totally desperate to make something out of nothing)
oh, thanks for the late night laugh ..of what it meant northy!! after what happen to me tonight i really need the laugh!! i really like it!!! well done my friend way to edit the sh*t out of it!! haha
Totally agree on your definition of ETSOOI ... make something out of nothing :-)
...and your national flag still looks pretty - I like the processing here (being a big fan of Nik tools...)
Lol, you're wicked! I was just thinking, why the hell edit a sunny day like that, but I liked it even before you explained below. Soooooo... I must say I was uninitiated about etsooi, and of course now I'm in love. I edit the shit out of good shots as well so I've found my niche, lol. As for this shot, I don't think it nukes the flag, it's actually flattering how the leaf fades in and out of vision and the sun touching it... ok, maybe in a bit of a creepy way. Ha! Excuse me, I've just had a coffee in three gulps, the Italian way.
