Our guest judge this week is a dedicated Edit Me participant, Kaylene Maalste from L'INSTANT. We are so happy to have her this week! Here's a little more about her...
I
am retired and live in Berri, Australia with my husband and bossy cat. I
have always been interested in creating, in my early days it was
playing around with beading, paper maiché, mosaics, quilting and
embroidery. I always felt that I needed to focus my creativity into one
if not two mediums and I have accomplished this with Art Quilts and
photography. My surrounding countryside is full of many different
landscapes, in fact sometimes I do not need to even leave my garden. I
love taking photographs and then playing with them in my editing
software (Photoshop PSE 10) and several great plug-ins. I cannot draw
so the computer screen has become my canvas. I participate in challenges
that have given me the opportunity to develop my editing skills. I use
a CoolPix L120 camera (basically a point and shoot), and I am looking
forward to the day I can move up the camera ladder. My husband is very
supportive and has grown used to me asking him to pose for me, and
coming to an abrupt halt when we are driving so I can take a shot.Here is this weeks Sooc
and here is my edit:
- Opened in CS5
- Cropped the image to create a landscape effect.
- Removed the fence wire and posts.
- Adjusted the image via curves.
- Adjusted vibrancy, strength, exposure, detail to create a HDR effect.
- Added texture.
- Done!
Thank you as always to Branson & Stephanie for hosting such an awesome challenge.

Beautiful edit! I love how you brought the attention to the wheel!! Great job!
Love the play of light in your edit! The crop and added texture complement it beautifully.
Great edit! I love the effect you created.
I love the fence removal! Genius.
I like how you cropped it to give focus to the wheel. And you took the time to remove distracting elements of the image. The HDR look is really cool! Really awesome!
What a nice punch of color and love that you were able to remove the fence and the wires. Nice job!
Hi Linda,
Well done, the cropping gives the photograph a different dimension, HDR effect is nice addition to the clarity and vibrancy of your edit. Removal of the fence is another good idea. Cheers
Nice touch with the HDR-it works well with this image to show more detail. Great crop and focus on the wheel!!!
Love how the crop puts the focus on the wheel. Nice colour and texture!!!!
