Photo Challenge

Hi,

Just thought I'd threw down a little challenge.

This is a photo of our local church that was almost there. I edited it in XaraX1 and wonder if you can tell what I did to it?

You put "Xara X" on the tombstone?

Hi,
You added the 'Sun' Glow by the tree!
the shadows are going the wrong way.
Do I get a prize?

Hi,

John. I wish I had thought of that! But no, nothing so clever.

Mac. Right on with the sun glow. The actual sun was right there behind the tree, but I "enhanced" it a little. Shadow directions haven't been changed at all, where are they wrong?

There are a couple more alterations which are perhaps not so obvious as the sun. I'm hoping they are not too noticeable!

looks like you changed the flowers some by the second tomb stone from the right

Hi Carol,

The front right tombstone looks different. The text is darker and the grey does not match or line up.

Looks almost to me as if there is a motion blur applied to the leaves where the sun is most brilliant. http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

Did you add some leaves ... or add color to some of the leaves?

It also looks like one set of flowers is brighter than the others ... the picture is so small ... and my eyes are so old http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

Hi everyone,

Thanks for playing along with my little challenge.

It seems that one of my changes is confusing you a bit, your'e close but . . . And the other hasn't been spotted at all, hooray!

OklaEd. Yes the colour of the leaves is brighter, in fact I altered the saturation and contrast with XPE to the whole picture. Well done for spotting this one!

John. Sorry, haven't directly altered the front tombstone.

Al. Tricky one to answer. I haven't picked out any of the tombstones to alter . . . but the major editing is around this area. HINT, HINT.

RamWolff. Ah, good spotting! Actually motion blur was applied in this area, but ages before I took the photo into Xara and I had forgotten that I had done that!
