The edits are in. At this time we will not be accepting any more edits. You can now begin to vote for the edits. All the edits are contained in a dropbox folder. The link for that folder is provided below. Click on the link and then decide which edit you like the best. When you have made your decision, post the number of that edit in this thread. On Sunday at 9pm we will make the results of the voting known. We will also post the winning edit so that you can see it without having to go back to the dropbox folder.

We have made a small change to our format . You can now vote for the original if feel that it is better than any of the edits. I have received comments from members about voting for the original. Members feel that, in the event that none of the edits are a person's favorite, provisions should be made to allow voting for the original. We do not want this to become a "can you beat my photo" contest; but I do understand the concerns of the membership. So, starting this week, in the event that you don't like any of the edits more than you like the original, you will be able to vote for the original and that vote will be tallied in the results. Since we don't want, however, to encourage people to post originals that have already been highly manipulated or processed, the original will not be eligible to win the contest. In the unlikely event that the original receives more votes than any of the edits, the edit of the original that receives the most votes will be declared the winner. If there are any comments or questions concerning the change, feel free to pm ebrunner and I will address any of your concerns. Here is the link to the dropbox folder:

We got a lot of different interpretations this week. I think it was a very good photo to work on. Kudos To AzPicLady who was having trouble changing backgrounds but persevered to provide a very credible edit. I also think that the crops and the black and white conversions are quite effective. Thank you all for your prodigious efforts.

Thanks, Erich. I learned some stuff.

My vote is for #3. I also like #7. I like the backgrounds on #'s 10 and 14, but thought it should be cropped a bit more.

A lot of good ones. I’m going to vote for #8

3 also. I feel a little like a freshman competing with a senior. I noticed yesterday I had accidentally removed the poor boys left ear.

14. Many like 3 but I think it is cropped too close to the top of his head. And....what's with all those crops that decapitate?

I choose #3 . . . excellent crop and great background treatment! I felt there were a few others that were good on the background, but wasn't crazy about the crop.
