Darkroom Challenge Digital Darkroom Derby #89-- Closed [Results Posted]

[gecko]

This is Digital Darkroom Derby #88, a digital image editing/processing challenge.
Please read the rules here. Short version: Host provides the challenge image and selects the winner, who then becomes the next host.

I almost gave up on finding a suitable Challenge photo (almost all my photos are of bugs). And the one I did find may not be truly suitable but it may be as good as I have. (I now realize that I should not assume that participating in the Challenge protects me from being chosen as a winner . ) I took this photo (35-mm slide, Pentax Spotmatic camera) in 1967 during our honeymoon in Greece. I digitized it using a slide copier.

Entry #1. Warmed it up and some golour grading. Cropped out the old frame and gave it a new one.

Entry #1:

Imported raw into Capture One Pro 23. Straightened the photo, cropped out the blurry edges and then masked out the worst of the hair and dust spots. Warmed the image up a bit and added in a bit of contrast.

Not competing, just practicing. What's the name of this village? Very pretty.

Thank you. Unfortunately I don't remember the name-- it's been many years, but it is one of the Greek Islands.
