First, a huge thank you to Rob Z (@robz) for hosting ETSOOI-95 and for selecting my entry for one of the six finalists. Second, a big thank you to all who helped my image end up in first place. I look forward to hosting ETSOOI-96!
For the past few months, this challenge has had a theme associated with it. But that was not always the case. So, for this time around – just for a change – ETSOOI, beginning on the 8th, will be open to any concept or theme.
To keep the history of this challenge alive, here is some background, as well as suggestions from previous hosts:
ETSOOI is an acronym started by MaryBeth @espyetta. It stands for EDITING THE SORRY-NESS (or whatever you choose to think of for the ‘s’) OUT OF IT which basically means editing your picture in any way you like. This particular editing challenge emphasizes playing with processing to create something new out of your original image. This is in contrast to simply using multiple programs to fine tune and tweak your original image to bring out its best result.
If you are new to editing/processing here are some great tools to use besides standard tools in Lightroom and Photoshop:
Snapseed
PicsArt
Pencil Sketch Free
Camera360
Deep Art Effects
You can use more than one program/app per image. This challenge is very relaxed so just have a "seeing to" (as Marnie @golftragic would say) with your picture and see what you can create.

What total fun! Surreal images are a big part, to me, of ETSOOI. It's fun to play with software programs in ways that push beyond 'enhancing' to being a bit more creative. Thanks for participating actively!
