Challenge: Have A "Go" at This June 3-7, 2019

@UserID I tried #1 City at night 2 ways and the portrait in one way. I began in light room and moved to ON1. I used different presets and filters for each of the 2 images. Just my "take" on 2 images. You need to download to see the details of what I did. The portrait I removed a building behinf his head and lightened up the hair edges. Did a selective exposure with heavy vignette and zipped the fly and de-emphasized the lines created by hands in the pocket. Nite!

Not looking for anything in particular, and no, doesn't have to be kept original. It is edit practice and "seeing" things in the image of another. Everyone edits differently and that fascinates me how one can use the same image and there be so many "takes" on it. I wondered if anyone would notice items under the light house (solar panels) - And you did, Bob.
Thanks Pat - wonder how solar panels work during high tide?

I get really bored snapping in
sunshine or well lit interiors.
And, I keep my cameras set
to make low intensity jpegs,
muted colors, low contrast ...
even if I happen to shoot in
daylight or well lit rooms on
rare occasions ... Acoarst no
sunshine, office lighting, etc
here. What fun can that be ?
Soooooo, here ya go ... All
are SOOC.

Glad you enjoyed the exercise.
Every image I've posted I have
also "perfected" for myself [or
the client] but I was pretty sure
this exercise calls for unedited
SOOC fodder.
I tried to post things that would
definitely lack typical reference
standards, so there would be no
way that one person's rendering
could be possibly "more correct"
than someone else's rendering.
That said, I really preferred your
color rendering over the mono,
but NOT cuz I view the mono as
being "lesser". It's simply that I
shoot things with various mixed
spectrums all in the same frame
and was curious how folks might
"sort out" such mixed color. So,
you can see how a conversion to
gray scale can't satisfy my own
curiosity about what folks might
do with these "color puzzles".
I have rendered that portrait as
both mono and RGB myself, cuz
I very much dig both. So, again,
my preference isn't "against" the
mono rendering aesthetically. I
had just wonder how folks might
"shake out" the mixed spectrum
light sources, such as how you
did in rendering the urban vista.

My quick take on your P1 images... nothing too drastic, but hope you like !

Cropped, linear grads from bottom-left and bottom-right diagonally across with increases to clarity; also tweaked colours & temperature

Cropped, highlights and blacks reduced, shadows and whites increased. One linear gradient from top down to horizon with a touch of negative clarity (I'm sure there's a proper word for that!) and positive dehaze to bring out the sky a tiny amount

Yup, and someone else may have a different interpretation! Good job.
I used OloneoRAW, made one light grunge, one light sepia an the third one a bit more colourful, combined them on photomatix then cropped a bit. Looked to ''Rufe'' it

Color puzzles are a challenge. Editing is a challenge. Mixed lighting is challenging too. Always enjoy your images and appreciate your explanations and your participation.
