Battle-RAW-Yal : Christophe will provide the same RAW image (look for an email with link to the image), one with some difficult lighting, contrast and ISO issues. Your job is to edit to your taste. No holds barred!!
Use any platform you like, and feel free to crop, recolor, desaturate, use AI elements, recompose or create a composite... ANYTHING! There is no wrong or right way, only your way. Show off your skills and show us how you interpret the image using only your wits and editor of choice. Depending on the number of entries we get, each person will have roughly five to seven minutes to introduce the image, talk about their process, and explain their rationale for the edit. Questions will inevitably follow.
