Robyn’s four week One Four Challenge, involves posting a photo each week that you have adjusted/altered in four different ways. Participants range from amateur to professional photographers, and the software, they use similarly widespread.
Last week I experimented with LR, but this week I have used a phone camera app, Sketch Guru, to crop and apply an artistic effect to the photograph. Click on the smaller photos to enlarge. The original photo is seen here.
Week 1 straightened and shadows adjustedWeek 2 Heavily saturated and framedWeek 3 exposure decreased in LRWeek 4 – Sketch Guru App – Painted effect
As always I invite you to select your favourite from the four weeks, vote, and post constructive feedback and criticism, if you feel so inclined. I appreciate everyone’s opinion.
A philosophic Aussie writes here at StPA, one who will readily admit to loving Scandinavia. I'm interested in global politics and what drives us to be who we are. Scratch the surface and you'll find a practical Environmentalist with an egalitarian bent, trying to unleash a little creativity via the written word.
Scandinavian culture, literature and traditions are close to my heart, even though I'm Australian. Travel and courteous discussions greatly broaden the mind, so I travel if I can and am always up for a vigorous, respectful discussion. I'm an avid reader, I enjoy photography and craft, particularly traditional art forms. I hope you'll find 'Something to Ponder About,' in my WordPress Community.

My favorite is Week 1, although all the edits look great.
Thanks for the feedback. It is always helpful to hear what others think. When you are the one adjusting and taking photos, you tend to develop a kind of myopic subjectivity.
Thank you Ben, I was pretty happy with Week 1 too, but wanted all along to increase the visual appeal of the mountains in the background, and that led me off to several other tangents!!! Thanks for taking the time to visit and comment. I appreciate that.
I am a week 1 fan too. I love the highlights in the foreground plants, the color of the water and it feels realistic to me. I think you learned a lot during the month, it was great to see what you tried, always interesting to see how different styles of images appeal to different people. That is why I love this challenge, you get to go outside the ways you usually edit and see what else is possible 🙂
