I am just heading back home after a 2nd night of Milky Way shooting. There are some really great looking edits in here, great work everyone.

Now, I can’t wait to get home and see what a can spin up from this image of Alan’s.

 

[Roger Bailey]

Thought this would be fun to do, nice edits all.

 

[Ben Egbert]

Roger, this one is different and very nice. Just shows how many ways an image can be attractivly rendered.

I went for a crop to bring the bridge closer and the tree in the left top just bugged me LOL. Highlights down, shadows up, a little dehaze, and played with the luminance & saturation sliders mostly plus on saturation & minus on luminance, and a touch of vignette!

Whew Darcy! I was thinking of a tighter crop like this, but thankfully you then posted a version that wasn't cropped so much, so now I can steal, I mean use your crop idea....

 

[Zeph]

I purposely didn't look at any of the edits, didn't like the tree branch in the upper left, maybe went a bit to green with my processing...?

I like this corp Drcy, and I assume this is the one you want voted on. Your color saturation is a nice middle ground beteen Jameel and the ones Mike and I posted.

Thank you Ben & yes the crop version

 

[Ben Egbert]

Another great interpretation. This just shows that a good image has lots of ways it can be finished.

The full image with a bit more color, including the larger maples helps with the overall topography.

Another great rendition. I will need to know which one you prefer for the vote.

If your asking me? All of these Candy Land renditions are unique and stand on their own... My second try is the winner

Thats what I wanted, when you submit two, I just need to know which to put up for vote. I should have worded my question more clearly.

Sorry Ben, I didn’t know voting was part of the program.

Yep, it's part of the fun Zeph.

I am going to finally work on mine in a bit, just finishing up a Milky Way shot from Joshua Tree first.

Sorry Ben, I didn’t know voting was part of the program.

And I am just lurking and watching to see what all of you are doing with this capture. I did work up a version of it to make sure I wasn't giving you a blown out shot before I gave Ben the DNG file but I'm not supposed to post that until you are done.

 

[JimFox]

Okay, here is my version. A pano crop with some selective darkening.

 

[Ben Egbert]

Nice job Jim, yet a diferent and compelling interpretation of this image.

Too all, remember that entries end Wednsday and voting starts Thursday.
