I just discovered this great Challenge yesterday at Words Visual, I’m posting this for The One Four Challenge .
The game is interesting … you take one photo and each Sunday after you’ve read the original challenge, you post your processed photograph … the second the second and so on, until you’ve processed the photo in 4 different ways. There’s no obligation to show the original or to show the various steps in your processing adventure … but as of next week I’ll be creating a gallery for the original and the work done up to that point.
Here is the original photograph that I’ll be working on … it’s an autumnal snapshot of the tourist port of Riva del Garda in Trentino, Italy:
and this is the first edit of the photograph – I haven’t done much to it, just added a little shadowing and sharpened the photo a little then added a “frame”:
Thanks for looking in … have a great Sunday!

Oh, this could be a fun challenge — I’ll have to check it out. 🙂
Already I like the first edit — so much clearer.
I thought you might like it too … didn’t get a chance though to drop the word to ya … one of my community did this on her blog and I saw it yesterday… I think you can publish anytime … she’s just got the first challenge photo up as of 10 minutes ago … drop by and have a look. Besides I think you cant back post or something … I sped-read through the rules
Will do that. Have it bookmarked and subscribed to it too, so if I don’t get to do it this week at least it’ll be there for when I get a perfect photo opportunity.
So many times though, I end up “artifying” my photos and going through at least 4, 5, 6 changes anyway … but it’ll be good to think about the changes more seriously.
Good idea .. and I agree … doing this challenge helps you stop and look at the various stages of your work!
Interesting challenge.
Being a yachtie, I’m a bit partial to this one. Like the sharpening as the original looked a bit soft. Will be interested to see where you take this next! Chris
Thanks for looking in Chris .. love sailing and so thought I’d do this one as a beginner, and I agree the original was a bit faded … glad you liked the first process …
Great photo for the challenge. It looks like fun. 😍
Looks like a fun challenge .. like to pick up on new ones and this helps me to concentrate on looking what I’m doing!
Same here. I am always looking out for new editing programmes. 😍
Yes .. they’re cool too.
Love the sharpness of your edit.
Thanks Sweet Pea … a little contrast can go a long way 🙂
Bastet, Welcome to the One Four Challenge 😊
I like your chosen image and what you’ve done in your first edit.
Thanks Robyn … a lovely original challenge … I’m happy you liked this first contribution!
I love a soft dreamy look- Go figure!! 😀 Beautiful!
I go for a soft dreamy look as well … sometimes. That will be for a future edit 😉 In the meantime, I’m glad you liked this one! 🙂
Even the small improvements can make a big difference 🙂 enjoy the challenge
I agree … that’s the cool thing about editing.
First of all, nice composition, it works so well. You made subtle changes and it works, looking forward to your next post.
Thanks … glad you liked it and your comment is very thoughtful.
