Help Wanted..The Edit Challenge Winner!

[Sambo]

It was very, very, difficult to pick a winner in this edit challenge. All edits were exeptional, and it just reaffirms what I've always known; this site is full of talented, artistic and creative photographers. Thanks to all that took the time to participate in the little creative challenge. They all were great!

But a winner the judges had to chose (Cindy, Bella, and I), so the winner is.....(drum roll please....)

Darrin (punwit)!

I thought that the treatment was very well done, and almost Dickens like. I thought that Darrin turned a so so shot into wonderfull creation. Cindy thought that this would make a great Christmas card, and I heartily agree.

So Darrin, TAG...your it. Please post a shot we can all learn from, and have a little fun with!

Sam,

Thanks for joining in on this little venture and for submitting an image that began with a storybook like feel. I'm honored that you chose the edit I submitted although I must admit that the plugin effect did the bulk of the work and I just fine tuned a bit.

The unique vision that each person brings, along with thier special talents, makes this exercise fun and imformative for me and I'm hopeful that even more folks will begin to share in the fun.

I should have a new image up soon. If not this morning then by this afternoon for sure.

Thanks again for hosting so well.

Darren
