Sorry, I couldn't resist :P
Slightly cropped to improve the composition a bit :P, custom conversion to black and white, more details shown in the sky and the setting sun underlined. Boosted shadows of the SUV for more details and visibility ;)
Edited only in Adobe Lightroom Classic version 9.3 :)
Very nice entry! I like the work on the car you've done! The crop looks also great! Thanks for participating bud! :))
Thank you for this interesting challenge! I think the line between "editing" and "manipulating" is quite thin. Why don't give full freedom and see where it goes? When blended, arts are even better and more interesting :P Just a suggestion :)))
I honestly thought about it as well but I don't think I wanna see surfing dinosaurs 😄
There are quite a few other competitions which offer the full manipulation option.
But it's only the first round - There can be changes anytime.
Thanks for the input buddy!
I absolutely understand you. I avoid and generally don't like manipulating, as a good photo rarely needs any :) That's why my favorite image editing software is Lightroom, not Photoshop :)
Right on! :D I got now more feedback and more people think the same as you. So I might give it a shot in the next round.
(Same, I use 99% Lightroom and 1% PS)
Your black and white images always looks crisp and refreshing! @lightcaptured
Thanks, Nina, this time, I only edited it :P Have a great day!
I know, Damian.🙂
Just saying you have a natural talent for creating -- and editing -- awesome black and white photos @lightcaptured
Thanks so much for putting a smile on my face :) Have a great Sunday, Nina :)
