August Raw Image Challenge

Time for a new challenge for this month. Susan Robinson has supplied us with the image for us to edit.

This image should test your editing skills!

Speaking of skills if you have not tried (like me) a sky replacement, it will be allowed for this image! So give it a try if you can. Your sky replacement can be a stock image and not taken by you if you wish.

OR just edit the image as is!

This month’s image is shown below

Also a reminder all members can score last months images (for July) just go to the members area and look for the blue button
