Let’s play #45

[Ben Egbert]

To spice things up, we are requesting that everyone "Play" with the Let's Play photo. Please don't use your normal processing steps as that's not playing, that's just your normal processing. The goal here in Let's Play is to see just how different from the original photo you can make your edit. So go Play!

Here is a link to the image this week generously donated by Carlo

The embedded image is a small jpg’s of the raw, but use the DNG file for rework.

 

[Darcy Grizzle]

Here is my try!

 

[Ben Egbert]

Nice one Darcy, and thanks for your entry. I am going to wait a bit to put mine up.

As I played with this I went with a Hi-Key look on mine edis, with all of my editing was done in ACR, I only used Photoshop to convert it jpg.

 

[Ben Egbert]

Thanks Jim, good to see a different take on this.

 

[Jameel Hyder]

Here is my attempt. Went for a sepia look.

 

[Ben Egbert]

Good one Jameel and thanks for offering a new approach.

 

[Ben Egbert]

Could not help myself, I went for maximum clarity color and sharpness.

I'm probably not too far off of Ben's approach although not quite as warm in tonality:

I like it Amy, I did consider going B&W too. I do like your interpretation.

Jim suggested that we should try something besides our normal processing for Lets Play so I would like to replace my somewhat ordinary entry with this one instead:

Apart from the processing, I thought that a tighter crop would be better.
