The new "Edit the RAW" thread.

Thought I would start a new thread considering the other one is a bit messy now that you can't download the raws anymore.

Below raw is only 4.6mb, so easy to download.

How about a week from when the image is posted, image owner chooses his favourite and then they uploasd a RAW, week starts again when the RAW is posted?

Sounds good to me.

Adjusted contrast and sat and colour in photoshop. Added grain in LR

That's very close to what I did, although I think I went with the tighter crop that cut the tree out, although it messes with the symmetry a bit. I'll post my edit up tomorrow when I get a moment. Ha! I cloned out the old couple as well (just noticed ksanti did as well)!

I suppose the tree is technically a 'distraction', but considering the composition it adds 'balance' to the image.

I think it works. Although the woman kind of added balance, I didn't like that I could sort of see her face. If she was walking the other way, I'd leave her in.
