ETSOOI-150 - New Challenge

March 8th, 2023
A huge thank you to JackieR ( @30pics4jackiesdiamond) for hosting the last ETSOOI Challenge, I have the honour to host the next challenge.

This is my first topic what is hosted by me on the site as a new face and my native language is not English either, so I apologize for any mistakes! It's easiest if I copy the details of the previous challenge and just change some data.

...and now a little overview of the background of the challenge:
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 come 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 150th, challenge.

There are only two rules for this challenge:

1) Your starting image MUST be taken within the designated time frame ( which has been backdated)
and
2) You MUST have taken the picture yourself.

There are no boundaries on the way you edit your picture. So, be creative!

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.

If you wish, 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 honour of hosting the next ETSOOI challenge.

The start date is February 24 (backdated)
The end date is March 31
