As I recall, the now shut down WWW site PPChallenge.com, which I really enjoyed, put up just one image per week and had anonymous voting.

I believe I joined just a tad too late for PPChallenge.com. Would have been cool to see how it worked.

It utterly ran out of steam. People just stopped using it, so it was closed down.

I tried to stay with the ones that looked most like they stuck to Basic editing. But I think that ANY of the [legal] ones you folks did would have done a whole lot better than my haloed version did. To me these three show off the weirdness of this building best:

1st
by jomari
I think this could have placed quite a few places higher than mine did.

2nd
by Bear_Music
Ditto this one. I really like the crop.

3rd
by UrfaTheGreat
Also this one...

1st - redjulep


2nd - jomari


3rd - pjotre7


Thanks everyone for the great submissions, just shows how differently everyone treats the same image! Here is my take on this picture

I really wanted to enter in this challenge, but got real busy towards the later part of the week.. I was planning on merging all the images to create one scene - almost all the images were falling so well in my mind! I might still try doing that.

On a side note, I'm thinking ahead a little about April. I probably won't do a month long challenge. I'm leaning on doing 2 week-long challenges instead.

I'm planning on taking a week to accept any and all contributions. I think that I can form a small 'panel' to pick the top ten contributions, then the second week we'll work on the those. At the end of the week we'll have a winner (instead of adding up four weeks... that's a pain). Third week, take contributions. Fourth week, compete.

This eliminates more than half my work and allows the editors to spend more time on the "top ten" photos rather than rushing through 21. I will also make sure the final 10 reflect a variety of genres.

Any feedback?


This all sounds like a really good idea. I am enjoying this PP thing a lot, but with 20 images to try to do justice to (I know I don't have to do all of them, but...) I find other things are getting neglected. As for the work you have been doing yourself, well, I think you have done a remarkable job and I'm sure the demands have been a challenge. Hats off to you.

Ooops. Sorry! I was in a huge rush last week and only had time to attempt three of the originals and didn't write them up. I've just added a description of my editing steps (as best I can remember them) for this one. thanks for choosing it.
