Challenge #1

Hi All
For this challenge there are two source photos. Both are of geese. The challenge is to isolate the geese from their original picture and create a new picture with the geese. I have demonstrated a sample here as well. However you do not have to use the same effect I did. The reflection is not part of the challenge. The challenge is simply isolate the geese and create a new photo using them.
If you need assistance please feel free to use the Google search bar at the bottom of the screen and you search results will be displayed on this page. I ask that you please use the search bar here as it will help me grow this site. Thanks. I look forward to the submissions. Send them to photochallenge@hotmail.com
Thanks and good Luck

Welcome

Hello All!
I am creating this blog as more or less a bit of fun. I want people from the photography community to be able to come here and try their hand at editing photos. Not only is it a chance to strut your skills using various editing programs it will also be a chance for the not so seasoned editors to learn some new skills. I just may fall into the later category myself. While I do have a few tricks up my sleeve I am far from perfect at creating effects.
My plan currently is to issue a challenge which would start with a photograph that I will provide from my collection and end with a certain effect as the desired outcome for the finished product. I would ultimately like to be able to issue weekly challenges to this effect.
Since I am just starting this idea and I know it will take a while before I can get the ball rolling on this I may have to allow longer than a week at the beginning until I can generate enough interest. Of course if you are interested you can always help spread the word for me.
