Photo contest: post processing #9 - results

Привет/Hello/Servus/Saludo, друзья

It's time to take stock of our small event. I specifically avoid the word "competition", because the main thing is not a competition, but participation, discussion, exchange of experience, conversation of people who are passionate about photography and try to get a result that is more than just pressing the shutter release button of the camera and the phone.

This is the main task that I set myself. At the same time, simple compliments have no special value. "Wow, how beautiful!"... it doesn't carry any useful information. I would like to hear the continuation of this phrase. What exactly did you like about this photo, which solutions of the author are successful. I consider constructive criticism, expressing opinions on the merits, and paying attention to important or interesting points to be the most valuable in the comments.

Together with the authors' posts, such comments can bring a lot of useful things for everyone.

Пришло время подвести итоги нашего небольшого мероприятия. Я специально избегаю слова "конкурс", потому что главным является не состязание, а участие, обсуждение, обмен опытом, разговор людей, которые увлечены фотографией и стараются получить результат, который больше простого нажатия спусковой кнопки затвора камеры или телефона.

Такова основная задача, которую я ставил перед собой. При этом простые комплименты не имеют особой ценности. "ВАУ, как красиво!"... это не несёт никакой полезной информации. За этой фразой хотелось бы услышать продолжение. Что именно в этой фотографии тебе понравилось, какие решения автора являются удачными. Наиболее ценным в комментариях я считаю конструктивную критику, высказывание мнения по существу, обращение внимания на важные или интересные моменты.

Вместе с постами авторов такие комментарии могут принести много полезного для всех.

ATTENTION / ВНИМАНИЕ

The theme of the next stage of our party will be announced after the New Year holidays.
I wish everyone a fun time at your family parties and other festive events.
May the new year 2023 bring peace and happiness to our homes!

Тема следующего этапа нашей вечеринки будет объявлена после новогодних праздников.
Желаю всем весело провести время на ваших семейных вечеринках и других праздничных мероприятиях.
Пусть новый 2023 год принесёт в наши дома покой и счастье!

Concept

This time the task was as simple as possible, but this is at first glance.
The topic suggested by @qwerrie is "my favorite effect or my favorite post-processing algorithm".
Personally, I don't have a favorite effect that I resort to more often than others. Each photo requires an individual approach. But sometimes I save some themes as presets for the future (it might come in handy). So, choose something favorite... it may not be an easy task. And yet, we managed.

На этот раз задание было максимально простым, но это на первый взгляд.
Тема предложенная @qwerrie - "мой излюбленный эффект или мой любимый алгоритм постобработки".
Лично у меня нет излюбленного эффекта к которому я прибегаю чаще других. Каждая фотография требует к себе индивидуального подхода. Но иногда некоторые темы я сохраняю в качестве пресетов на будущее (вдруг пригодится). Так что, выбрать что-то любимое... может оказаться непростой задачей. И тем не менее, мы справились.

I am waiting for new topic suggestions

For those who looked at the light for the first time, I post links to the previous stages of our big party.
I recommend visiting them and feeling the aroma of the creativity of our photographers.

@michelangelo3, @weisser-rabe, @qwerrie, @soniaz

I hope we will meet in the following stages :)

Надеюсь, мы встретимся в следующих этапах :)

So, the party continues. Let's see what the authors presented to us on the proposed topic. Just enjoy the creativity of our participants.

I recommend opening their posts and seeing how they came to these results.

The first job was пост @lllll1ll

for the contest

It was a rather prosaic photograph, which, in my opinion, has no special value, except for some memories. I deliberately chose the worst of several frames to try to get him to talk and tell something not only to me, but also to the viewer.

Second job belongs to @esthersanchez

for the contest

Among the things I have always loved to photograph is nature, in all its presentations, and in it particularly the sunsets stand out and I feel that the town where I currently reside has been blessed with the most beautiful ones.

Third work owned by @alexey1976

for the contest

Three guys are posing in the photo, and the guy on the left we can see serious cosmetic problems, which we will try to eliminate.

Fourth work belongs to @evagavilan

for the contest

I like to create my own worlds, so I took this opportunity to feel the planet from another angle.

Fifth post belongs to @manuelgil64

for the contest

I usually employ a set of common steps or processes in all my photo editing work, regardless of the characteristics of the image.

I wanted to make this post both a summing up and a winner's choice post (a voting post for the audience award). But having collected this post, I see that it is not convenient for voting and a separate format is needed. This means that the viewer vote will be launched by a separate post.

I thank all the participants for your creative contribution to this contest.
