Many thanks to Ann @olivetreeann for hosting the last etsooi challenge. Thank you to all who took part by entering and those who voted, some of you twice!
It is my absolute honour to host the 144th ETSOOI challenge.
Here's a little history about this challenge, which is particular to 365project.org .
The etsooi phrase was coined by Mary Beth Dailey. When a photo she took didn’t turn out as she expected she "Edited the Shenanigans Out Of It" (or as others have translated it as "Editing the 'Sorryness' Out Of It") .
Repairing what she thought of as a failure with a huge amount of post-processing she was able to end up with a satisfactory outcome. She then turned this experience into a challenge for the 365 community and now many challenges later, you are invited to participate in this, the 144th, challenge.
There are only two rules for this challenge:
1) Your starting image MUST be taken within the designated time frame,
and
2) you MUST have taken the picture yourself.
There are no boundaries on the way you edit your picture. So get creative! Go for surreal, saturated or brightly colored, stretched out and manipulated to the hilt. Aim to achieve that beyond-perfect reality by tweaking and erasing all your picture’s imperfections, and perhaps adding a few elements. No matter which approach you take, edit, edit, process and edit some more (or as I used to call it cheat) to get that perfect, just so perfect and eye catching photo!
If you need some help there are plenty of programs: Affinity, Photoshop, Lightroom, Topaz and more. There are free websites such as ribbet.com, fotor.com, befunky.com . For the phone and tablet there are many apps: Snapseed, PicsArt, Pencil Sketch, Free Camera360, Deep Art Effects, Distressed FX+, Hyperspektiv, and ToonCamera.
In your narrative do include the program you used, it may assist others new to this challenge.
You may enter as many images as you like, but I may only select one to be chosen as a finalist. The winner receives the honor of hosting the next ETSOOI challenge.
The time frame is July 14 to August 18 2022.
