Okay everybody, here's the new DITI for the week!

Click on the photograph in order to save it in its largest available format.

This is straight out the camera, so have at it!  Serious postwork or cute little aliens or anything in between.  Enjoy!

Whoever answers with an image first is responsible for next week's DITI.

"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough."  ...  Robert Capa

Game "Rules" for the newbie:
A photograph of any quality or subject is posted at the start of the week.  Members are free to use that photo and change it in any way by adding, deleting or manipulating  elements into it.  It does not have to be labor intensive. Something quick and easy is as much fun as something that takes a long time and is very intricate. 

Each member can have up to 3 tries at it each week. You can do something to the original post or something to one of the "morphed" images.

The first person who puts up a re-worked photo after the original one is posted is the person who is responsible for uploading the next Monday's original image for us to work with.If you have any questions, be sure to ask.  Several of us are "old hands" at this and we will be glad to help out.

Tried adding a couple of figures to this picture but the POV (top down) adds a special challenge for getting the perspective correct. I'll give it another try soon.

For my first postworked DITI, all I've done is postwork the normal levels, curves, added a bit of saturation and a dry brush filter followed by a canvas texture. Lots of fun.

Great ones! 

@Bill  I like the deep blue, the dark contrast and the textures. It has a great richness.

@Gonzo  I like the way the filter calmed the scene and the wonderful highlights in the trees.

Due ottimi lavori ! Complimenti ai due amici !

Two excellent works! Congratulations to two friends!

La mia prima

Wonderful Mario! This really brings out the geometric shape of the fountain. I like the way the building and people recede into the background.

Here's my first.

 Thanks Lucinda, was just what I wanted to get me pleasure, if possible, break plans. The next will be very different.

Beautiful interpretation of fractal type your own! Very bright colors! Congratulations!!

Thanks Mario. A bit of Fiesta crept in. :)

Wow!  Great work, everybody! 

I love the richness of color you got, Bill.  Looks like you're next up on Monday for the new DITI!

LOVE that filter you used, Gonzo.  It's just to my taste.  Beautiful result!

Mario, the black and white "sketch" look is wonderful for this.  I particularly like the way the branches turned out.

And Lu!  Wow.  What a great result!  It feels like if I turn the kaleidoscope a little bit, the fountain will fall apart ... such a sense of motion!

I'm looking forward to seeing what else everyone comes up with.  And gosh ... I'd better get busy, huh?

:D

Thanks to Mario, I'm arriving in this "game"! I don't know if I can rework the images... I have little time, but I will do my best! Here is a simple reworking made ​​with photoshop plugins ( Flaming Pear_melancholytron and Lucisart). :-)

Greetings from Sicily!

Congratulations to all! Your works are very beautiful! :-)

What a rich transformation with and a wealth of beauty!

Ottima elaborazione , devo mettere la serie Flaming Pear su questo computer ( ce l'ho solo sul fisso in cantina ) .

Here is my first one...

Such a beautiful golden transformation, MC!  Beautiful!  I love the contrasts.

Good work with the tomatoes, Tom!  Nice use of the guy on the telephone.  Funny and well done!  :)

Here's my first run at it.  I'm already thinking of something silly for the next one!  :D

"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough."  ...  Robert Capa

Wonderful to see you here Maria!  Your image is beautiful, like etched gold!

Love the tomatoes, Tom and would be really interested to see him carry them home. 

Very attractive crop, Tara. I like the way it leads my eye from the fountain to the sunny open doorway.  I always love silly. :)

Number 2

Love the pastels, Lu!  That would be great as the background for a festival poster.  The pale colors lend themselves nicely to having text over the top.  I might steal this idea from you at some point!  :D

"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough."  ...  Robert Capa

I have a question.  I was working on an image using the distort filter pinch and I started to see a beast's face.  So I went to liquify and played around a bit.  The result is more of a 2D than a photo manipulation.  Is that something to post on this thread?  If not, that's cool.  With Tara's permission, I'll post it on my gallery sometime.  :)

Cool Tara! I love your image and text combinations!  :D

If it's based on this image, by all means go ahead and post it here!  :)  Doesn't matter how you postwork it ... just Do It To It! 

"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough."  ...  Robert Capa

Okay ... here's the silly one ...

"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough."  ...  Robert Capa

Rubber duckies! LOTS of rubbber duckies!  I love it! Where's Ernie? 

Thanks for the answer!

Number 3.  :)

LOL!  Maybe that's the answer:

"Okay, I've put the ducks in the fountain.  Now what?"

"Now go find Ernie!"

:P

LOVE the way this turned out, Lu!  That's way cool.  You absolutely have my permission to post it in your gallery.  (I forgot to say so before ... sorry.)  I agree it's 2-D.  Nice work!

"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough."  ...  Robert Capa

Thanks, I've been thinking about doing a week of abstracts/2-D images after my next week of Ireland.  This will fit in nicely.  :)

I miei complimenti a Lucinda , Tara  e Tom ! Stupende elaborazioni !

Congratulations to Lucinda, Tara and Tom! Beautiful processing!

That will be fun ... I'll look forward to seeing them!  :)

My pic 2

Beautiful, Mario!  Like an impressionist painting.  Wonderful result!

"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough."  ...  Robert Capa

Beautiful colors, Mario! I like the way you have brought out the silvery tones of the sidewalk and trees.  They stand out more from the building, which is a lovely soft pink. 

Thank you, Tara. I like what you say. Do you think Flickr is registered under the name VanMario  (Thinking of Van Gogh).

Thank you, Lucinda. Your comments, as you know, are among my favorites (great description of your CHAOS, I've just described the scene of departure).

Of course, both good day.

My pic 3 - Early Autumn

Tom, Tara, Lucinda... your pictures are very interesting and funny! Congratulations! :-)

 

Splendide rielaborazioni, caro VanMario! ;-)

My second upload...

The image has been amended including the background Damaged Film by struckdumb (devianart).  :-)

 

Lovely golden ambiance, Mario! Soothing and mellow in the walls and pavement and sparkling in the leaves and flowers!

Hai scherzato poco anche tu !Belle tutte , mi è piaciuta un mucchio la bambola col manichino !

Wonderful manipulation, Maria!  Though as one who has a mountain of old slides and negatives to process, it's scary too!

Thank you, Lucinda, you were right. Is very fun and challenging. I will soon be new ch elaborzioni also the official website. Good evening.

Wonderful autum tones, Mario!  I like this version very much.  (And yes ... that VanMario is a very talented photographer!)  :)

The damaged film look is so well done, Maria.  Great work!

 

Thanks for playing, everybody!  It's so much fun to see everyone's creativity in action.

Looking forward to more!  :)

The ducks are very very funny! :0)

For the third and last post, I have elaborated the image in the style of Andy Warhol with the program PostworkShop - Styles Pop Art!

Have a good weekend!   :-)

 

 

 

Bel lavoro ! UN trucco che ho usato varie volte ( con Giulia ).

Very cool, Maria!  I like the way you have arranged the images with near negatives diagonal from each other.  Excellent variation!

Love the result, Maria!  Wonderful work!

Thought I would throw my rework in the ring.

gonzojr your treatment of the image looks fantastic, I really like it!

@ dashboard_jehovah ...   Wow!  Great treatment!  I love the color flip, and the addition of that wonderful fractal is outstanding.  Excellent DITI!  :)

"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough."  ...  Robert Capa

@ dashboard_jehovah-Cool variation!  It looks a bit like a horror scene with something  errupting out of the fountain.   

Thanks for playing, everybody!  This has been a great week!
