Challenge: Motivational Poster II (Advanced Editing V*)
Camera: Canon EOS-400D Rebel XTi
Lens: Tamron SP AF 17-50mm f/2.8 Di II LD Aspherical (IF) for Canon
Location: Chorlton
Date: Aug 29, 2007
Aperture: 2.8
ISO: 800
Shutter: 1/4000

 Well... I don't like this but I looked upon it as a chance to learn how to put text on a picture, which I did, but it always looks small even at 1296 pt. Maybe I'm missing something, but I predict low 5s for this one... also, the hat looks weird. Dang layer masks.

Anyway. The editing steps were:

Levels,
Shadow/highlight x2,
Midtone contrast,
Layer mask for the sky and adjust levels to make it look moodier,
Bit of dodge/burn,
Contrast,
Brightness,
USM,
Resize,
Add border but elongate the top and bottom then crop the top part so it looks like it does,
USM again after resize,
Add text,
SFW

Well done you! Nice image just not sure about her running out of the frame - if you see what I mean!

Great photo. The tones are scrumptious and that runner is just fascinating and fun.

Striking image, and perfectly processed for the message you've conveyed. Seeing just a hint of her face would have made this perfect for me. 9

Love the shot. Great text added. Would have liked to have seen her feet or just more of the entire body in the frame. The black and white adds dynamics to the photo.

The more I look, the more I like. Bumping and I think I've found my first fave. Good luck!

overall a bit too much contrast. placement of the person is not viewer-friendly, as he/she runs out of the frame. layout is Ok, but not overwhelming; text could be larger.

Cool idea but the mood of the shot is very dark and foreboding. She looks like something is chasing her.
