Our local camera club decided to have an editing challenge for this month's club comp. An image was submitted and the challenge was to process it. Initially I doubted I would find the motivation to do justice to the task as the submitted image didnt appear to offer many options. However now I'm finding it difficult to choose a final image as once I started a myriad of options presented themselves.
Club judges are notorious for their
conservatism so I doubt many of my choices will be appreciated but I
certainly had fun trying to make something interesting from the
original.
I'm not a fan of portrait orientation shots and the original was crooked which meant I lost even more width.
Initially I began with a simple straighten and tweak. Then the fun began.
While I appreciate the composite images make for a very busy image I quite like the result.
The second provided image was already busy so I tried to consider methods of simplifying it. Once again it was not level, so that caused most of the problems. I was keen to have a symmetrical base.
The flag was too close to the top of the image so I wanted to create more space as a starting point.
