From the post My Image - Your Look: Let's Experiment With Editing let's see what you can do with an image of a Grant's Gazelle hiding in the distance.
- Grant's gazelle http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grant%27s_gazelle

To make it easy I've attached the Canon RAW file and a SOOC JPG, PNG and TIFF to Dropbox
- http://www.dropbox.com/sh/yjz4hrm44l7et3g/AABdLS_kiDvsTAyH0iiGwJg_a?dl=0
- The image below has been reduced to allow for an easy upload to the site
- It's probably best to keep the comments until the end to make it easier to vote

You have until midnight, Wednesday PT to post them here then we'll turn it in for a vote. Enjoy! S-

watercolor, with selective masking for the effect, for blur and for saturation, among other edits.

I went for deeper and dramatic colors. Haven't used the Navy blue in a long time. For this transformation I used Topaz Textures, Clarity, several filters, layer masks, along with tools and brushes, in PSE.

It's been an exercise in patience not to comment on each of these, but I've learned a lot and am better for it! Thank you!

Amazing work, all of you! Thank you for participating and for your unique visions! I would not have thought of any of these on my own.

Thank you again, and remember to vote: My Image - Your Look: Grant's Gazelle VOTING

This has been an excellent thread, Steve, and IMO, one of the most elegantly simple and effective treatments has been Bob Yankel's use of radial blur to blur leave the gazelle un-blurred and, in comparison, appearing sharpened. All the more effective because it was a bit soft in the original! I tried a similar approach, but without the refinement of Bob's and wound up not even submitting it (glad I didn't).
Anyway, your image and request elicited a wonderful array of responses and I've come away with some valuable perspectives as a direct result of your having conceived the idea for this thread.
Many thanks.

Dave
