RAW file challenge with a $ prize
edit - you're all amazing. contest will "close" at midnight tonight (today is Sunday April 11) in case anyone else wanted to have a go at it. thanks to everyone who has participated. Adam April 12 01:00EST Contest is now closed. Once again, you're all awesome. Winner is TareCeljo Zenica, Bosnia and Herzegovina Mayhem #1334745 Photoshop Wizard Tare is working on the final edits and will receive paypal payment for two images. I really like this set of photos and want to make it into a story/montage but also like each photo on its own for different reasons. I'm the photographer and have copyright on these photos and would like to see how they can be enhanced to make them pop. If I can see how you finish one of them and post your results, I'll pay you (paypal) your standard (or agreed upon rate) for the other two. I'll also send you the final montage with some basic cropping for your port if you wish. What I like about these is the background - the grey tone, but obviously it needs some evening out. The light is meant to be subtle yet also needs to be enhanced on models face and body and overal clarity of the model's features to make her stand out. Looking for more of a polished, dimensional, magazine quality type photo - but that's just a wish list of course. The following image is NOT mine, but sort of the inspiration: ![]() These are the images: ![]() http://www.mediafire.com/file/iacxadd2nim/IMG_6613.CR2 ![]() http://www.mediafire.com/file/iuz5jnzujmz/IMG_6602.CR2 ![]() http://www.mediafire.com/file/jtmzixdtmaq/IMG_6596.CR2 Apr 10 10 10:41 am Link Nice.
