My initial attempt....Needs Work

Soaring Away

Abbie Shore's 1st edit challenge of 2020... "A model glider" over farmland and hills. I created six gliders from the original one that was presented. I brought out the thick overcast clouds in the sky and added several textures.

Some people may not see images in this thread so please click through.

I've let Sean know as I cannot see them... Just links

that same problem happened when i posted my page on facebook, the avatar didn't load.

Abbie, Thank you so much for continuing these challenges.

Here is one I have worked on, and yes, thankyou Abbie for continuing these challenges! I added a blue sky and bright sun with a Red Shouldered Hawk flying freely above the green meadows and hills.

Abbie Shore's 1st edit challenge of 2020... "A model glider" over farmland and hills. I brought out the clouds and normal color brightness, contrast etc. Then I copied the glider and moved it to the left side of the image. Then I added a plane and attached a cable from the glider to the plane. I added a "light beams" texture for the sky as well. This is my 2nd entry to the challenge.

Some day there will be a land where all are welcome. All nationalities, religions, and just everything and everyone. All will be welcome, to live together peacefully. Openly sharing their cultures, and mixing it together.

quite a few entries are wrong, and one is a bit questionable. i wonder if there should be a percentage to how much of the original image is used?


----Mike Savad
http://www.MikeSavad.com

I used double the original image. (^_^) Does that earn me extra points?

I cropped out about a third of the top sky, but that still leaves substantially more in excess of the original image.

If there needs to be a certain percentage, it should be specified clearly in the rules. I only used the model glider.

But there are quite a few images which were uploaded before the contest even started ...

i aim for at least 50% of the shot, so you can tell it was from that image, and not just a few random parts. its her contest, but i do wonder if that should be a part of the challenge.


----Mike Savad

Actually it used to have on the rules that the image must be recognisable as coming from the photo. I'm not sure how that was removed.... In one of my edits no doubt.

I apologise

I've added it back

The point is to edit the photo. Adding, subtracting, changing.... All good. But we must recognise something from the photo in the new edit.

If we do..... All good

I've already deleted around 10 or more images that were not even from the photo

I'll go and look again

Abbie Shore's 1st edit challenge of 2020... "A model glider" over farmland and hills. I added eight paper gliders to the image and brought out the thick overcast clouds in the sky.

Here is mine...

Fabulous so far!!

Looking good. I'm wrapping up my creation. Will probably post tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing everyone's work. I do see a couple in the contest where it's hard to tell it came from that photo. It would be hard to create a percentage I think. Still, I would think the rule of you should still be able to tell where the image came from should be enough. It amazes me how many don't read.

Created for Edit this 2020 contest this image depicts a geisha woman letting go of her origami creation shaped like a plane. Geisha are Japanese women who entertain through performing the ancient traditions of art, dance and singing, and are distinctively characterized by their wearing of kimono and oshiroi makeup and hair ornaments.

The background was contributed by Abbie Shores where a model airplane is soaring over a plain.

Soaring Away - 2

As an airplane flies over a valley to get ahead of the storm and rain, a bolt of lightning strikes behind it. The sun off to the right is still shining and as its light hits the rain, creates a double rainbow. I can imagine the pilot thinking, "Let's get out of here!".

I call my version Enhanced. I replaced the sky, brought out the colors in the fields and darkened some areas to improve the contrast.

Wow, Roger, your parachutists have clothes on!

Nice work everyone. There are some clever images up there.

The old photo)

Wow. I'm loving just looking at all the edits. I'll have to give it a go.

You all make this look easy, but as a sometimes digital artist, I know just how much work has gone into some of these edits. Very well done!!

I'm noticing some of you have very small images, not big enough for a print! Don't do what I did and left click on the image for a tiny copy. Follow the instructions Abby gives at the top and be sure to click on the three dots at the upper right corner. You will get a nice large image with lots of print sizes for your gallery.

A young girl gazes out the window of an airplane as her face is lit by the sun and reflects back at her. Another plane catches the bright light of the sun as it passes by in the other direction.

This was made to show how a lack of creativity is used in a contest. By taking a famous piece of art and recreating it on a background that is suppose to be edited to produce an original work of art. This is not a work of art. It is a sham. I simply took a famous portrait from the internet and put the contest image in the background. I then added a texture with a simple click with a filter. This does not show much of the background and has little to do with the conceptual feeling of the original photograph. Others work very hard and use their creative juices to produce what they feel is an effort towards competing in these contests. Don't let images like this ruin it for all of us.

They build those wind turbines big here in Australia.

Night Flying

It is raining outside, so I felt inclined to create something warm.

I got really think about this

Gliding At Sunset On A Spring Day. Spring has sprung in the valley a perfect day for a soaring ride in a glider to see the scenic sunset view.

Eagle Watches Unusual Bird Fly Over Her Habitat. An eagle watches from her nest this unusual "bird" with trepidation as it approaches.

I haven't entered this contest for a while. Here is my take.

Awesome work, from you and all who took part!

Well done all
