WWYD160 -- New Challenge Begins

August 24th, 2017
Thank you @yorkshirekiwi (Carol G) for hosting the last challenge. And a big thank you to all for voting in the last challenge.

It's now up to me to give you all a photo to edit, and this was tough for me...I never realized how few landscape type photos I take, and how much I like to really get in close to my subject. I finally found a shot I like from a 2013 trip to the buffalo roundup in Keystone, South Dakota.

For those of you that are not familiar with how this challenge goes:

The challenge will run from today August 24, 2017 to the morning of September 4, 2017 - Central Daylight Time Zone. (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 WWYD160.

- 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:
