For those of you who have been following our Photoshop Tennis games on Facebook (more of which below), my apologies – you've already seen this one, but I thought I'd blog it too as a) it is sufficiently different from the other 'desert tracks' shots that I posted at the end of last year (here, here, here, and here), and b) I really like the way it turned out.
And if you haven't had a chance yet, take a look at our Photoshop Tennis page. The basic idea, as I've already mentioned, is that the participants (myself, Jason Kotecha, Catalin Marin, Miles Storey, and Kathleen Connally) all produce a version of the same RAW file. We then post our versions anonymously (on Friday) and ask people to speculate about who produced each version, and which one(s) they prefer. We then post the details of who produced each version on Tuesday.
In other news, I'll be away from first thing tomorrow until the 24rd of this month, and won't have internet access until I get back. Look out for some new shots from the 25th onwards :)

A great conversion that brings so much more drama and depth to the image. As Dan says it's interesting what you've done with the tyre tracks. Taking the tracks right from the very corner of the image and exaggerating the grain of the sands works really well.As for what you've done to the sky - wow! I'd like to see the steps behind this one.

I love the drama of this photography. My impression of this is the mystery of the desert. I've seen some pics especially on the show original, it really amazed me. it makes me inspired even though I am just using a digital camera.

If you're interested, Game 1 is here, and Game 2 is here. We'll be posting the next set of images on Friday.

Cool processing in comparison to the "original" I love the pronounced footprint, especially as it seems so much larger than the tyre tracks.
and b) I like it too !!
interesting too how you nudged left-side to bring the vehicle tracks more into (and therefore outof) the corner.
Like the process of this one and Hope you will post it like a psd file. Dave have a great vacation.
outstanding processing..a compelling image ...kudos e
Like the processing too. It woulld make a great candidate for a Mini PSD.
Very cool! Love the tones and how you processed the sky!
amazing processing, luv it

Great depth, light and texture.
Reminds me of some 'dune bashing' I did in Abu Dhabi last year!
Great shot - love the tones and detail in the processing.
I like the shadow and post processing here. Quite mystical, excepting the size 10 of course!
Oh wow wow wow

Thanks everyone :)

Crazy detail. Still loving the whole before/after (original shot) thing.
Fantastic image. Love it.
Amazing detail caught in this image. Fabulous!
