In this contest, we are working with a source photo.

Your goal is to manipulate the photo in any way you want and turn it into a work of art. You can use Photoshop or any other digital image manipulation software.

The photo for today is one that made second place in our 'black backgrounds' contest. It's called 'The Champ' and was captured by one of our members: Olga.L Make sure to follow her if you aren't already!

You can download a high resolution version of this photo HERE.

Be creative, and let's do some old school photo manipulations!

Good luck!

PS: It's very important to vote on every entry, the more votes we get, the more accurate the rankings will be. Also, when you see something on someone's entry that can be improved, let them know. That way, we can learn new skills from each other!

FinaSumo replied to Rubber-Ray :

Thanks for this, yes this is by using an outside image hoster. I'm guessing if you want a thumbnail of your image to come up, you will still need to upload directly to Grepless? In my case, I will now be to trying to make sure I've finished working the image before uploading,

Rubber-Ray replied to FinaSumo :

I've never paid attention to the thumbnail. Not sure if it updates it. I don't know if you are like me but I tend to completely finish my image to where it's totally perfect and then I have "1st done". Then I come back and look at it again and have 2nd done, then maybe 3rd done, or even 4th done... hell I have probably had 20th done haha. Then I upload it and may even edit it again. ðŸĪŠ

For me it is not possible to see your image 'objectively' after only one session working, you need to sleep at least one night on it.
