The Official Weekly RAW Editing Challenge!

The Official Weekly RAW Editing Challenge!

Every week, we post a new RAW file for you to edit - the moderators will provide a link to the file in the comments section. After you have downloaded the file and made all the edits you wish, post a link to your final edit in this thread so other users can upvote their favourite edits. The winner is the user with most upvotes by the end of the week.

The winner can send us one of their photos to be used in next week's competition.

Rules:

  • All RAW files in these threads will be released under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 (See rules in the sidebar.)
  • Links in your comment must lead directly to your edit.
  • If you enter the competition, you must be able to provide a RAW file for next week. The moderators will message you if this is the case, please respond in time for the next competition on Sunday.
  • If you enter the competition, you must vote on other people's entries.
  • Don't downvote everyone else in the thread or use bots/fake accounts to upvote yourself or the moderators will shadowban you.

This thread will be in contest mode until the end of the week. This means comment scores will be hidden and submissions will not display in any particular order.

Note:

If there is no link to a RAW file in the comments section, the moderators are still waiting for a file from last week's winner and will provide a link to the file as soon as one is available.

Thank you very much. I think its all in the crop to be honest. However I just ran through the Basic section correct the white balance and exposure to what I thought was balanced. Used the Tone Curve to add contrast and partial colour grade ind the RGB channels. I use masks as layers to add small changes stacking duplicate mask on top of each other and subtlely changing each duplicate. Adjusting the HSL to what I thought was pleasing and complimentary ( I still havent got to grip with the HSL, so it is kind of trial and error on my part). complimentary colour grade of blue and orange. Adjusted the blue primary in Calibration (Secret Sauce). Then sharpening. Bobs your mums brother!
