This is my first time at hosting a challenge so please be patient with me. :P
Here is the new challenge to practice basic processing skills for your digital photos. A photo is provided and you will use a total of five processing steps (i.e. crop, contrast, saturation, clone, etc.) to put your own touch on it. Please list the editing steps you used.
A group of finalists will be selected at 20:00 Friday, July 6th AEST (10:00 Friday GMT) and submitted for voting. The winner will host the next challenge.
The easiest way to copy the photo for your own use: right click on photo, choose "save photo as" & save to my computer -- then edit and upload it as a daily photo in your project. You can then post your edited photo and 5 steps in this discussion thread.
Please tag your photo: 5stepchallenge-6
