Turned out really cool, so great to see all different approaches! I liked the idea from the start and it was so much fun being part of it! Thanks very much! ☺️
Initially I thought that the rather limited composition will also limit the edits, but seing Mads' crops surprised me. I liked them a lot. And I think the two crops stand out a lot more than the combined image. Very creative. Also a nice the video which showed us a few more talented people.
Love this! And love that everyone can try too- how refreshing and fun! Thank you, Christian, for your time to do this and for including the images from the viewers!!! I really hope you do more of these! I learned a LOT from this, and it really stresses the difference editing can make- even the subtle differences make.. well, a difference! Thank you :)
Really liked the attention of Mads to cut it in 2 photos. Something was off in the composition, honestly, and then, he made it incredible. Also liked the edit!
I'm a big fan of Mads and Mark and follow their channels weekly. Thanks for doing this Christian because I now have more photographers to follow. My personal preference for the edits is Laura's. I love the dreamy effect and I'd hang that on my wall.
Great idea, and nice to see Denney and Iversen work together! I am big fan oth of them. Tipical MPI, to cut beacuse of composition "problem". :D Love it.
Mads version(s) were great but I really liked Laura’s the best. The glow around the sunrise light hasn’t yet extended to the whole scene giving a balance between warm and cool colours.
Another great video Christian and very interesting to see all the different techniques. It definitely emphasizes the fact that there's not really any right or wrong result, it comes down to individual taste
Thanks for the opportunity. Mine was a bit high key as you stated in the video. More so that I remember it being when I did the edit. Looking at it again I can also see that I could and should have recovered more detail in the clouds, lowered the sharpening some, along with the lower exposure. It is a great learning tool to see my edits side by side with some of the best. Looking forward to the next one.
Great and very inspiring Video! And a very pleasing presentation.👍💥 My three favorites in this order are: Lukas, Laura, Mads-Peter. Lukas' picture has a 3-pop and a lot of three-dimensionality. Nice Colours and contrast. Laura's picture has a great balance and beautiful, harmonious and pastel colors. Mads-Peter's picture is nice and crisp, a bit cooler and has great, clear colors. Mads-Peter's idea of splitting is brilliant!
Mads and Lukas deal with a compositional issue the photo has, at least in my opinion: It is unevenly “heavy” on the left side compared to the right side. So Mads solved the problem by splitting the image, Lukas by cropping it. Would be interesting to know, what you and the 2 editors think about this theory 😇 BTW: i really enjoyed this comparison, great video, thanks!
Hey, thanks for commenting! I personally dont think the balance of the image is off, but I might be wrong here. But I agree Mads dealt with this image in a super creative way which works really, really good!
A while ago, one of the other landscape photographers, either Mark Denney or Nigel Danson (I think), asked for ideas about a video they would like to see. What you have produced here, was my suggestion... getting 5-7 pros to submit images to each other and have the pros edit them. I thought it would be a good way to make a number of videos for each photographer. An added bonus would be to do as you have done, having the other photographers explain their edit. So... thank you for doing this. It really helps to see how others see an image and the techniques they use to achieve their vision..
Excellent video, how I learned in just 40 minutes! Very good choice of photographers to do your developments; of those chosen I follow 5, including you. Thank you for your work.
Thank you for this excellent video. It really teaches us how many varieties can come out from one single shot after applying few differences in editing. I prefer though to bring the soul of the scene into the editing, the authentic one, but of course this is my own perspective. Thanks again.
Thank you for the comment! Having different preferences when it comes down to editing is great, thats what gives us more diversity in the end! I hope you enjoyed the video :-)
Christian, what a beautiful and wonderful presentation from you! Your transformation of the stunning landscape photo is so inspiring to me. I definitely learned more than ever before about colour grading from you. With your brilliant comments, you let me know more about my version, particularly about composition of the cat, fish and the daisy flowers in the meadow. With your remarkable dedication, you have made a great illustration of the 7 Pros editing and we viewers versions as well, in the way that all of us have the opportunity to learn from each other, in which we are able to share our thoughts and experiences with others. There was a lot of work behind the scenes, you have made a distinguished achievement in this project. I take the opportunity to express my gratitude to you. / Nancy
Hey Nancy, thank you so much for sending in your version, really appreaciate the time you put into it and im happy to have some more diversity in this video thanks to your version! Hope you can use the information of the video to learn something new!
I watch your video twice. Very interesting exercise. Even amazing. I personally like your editi as it is subtle and pleasing. Most of the edits are great to be honest and it is extremely difficult to judge. Laura edit is second to yours. I am even disturbed by how artist option bring so amazing images. Really stunning exercise. Lot to learn.
I lik Mad's version. It does show that there are 2 main compositions in this image, with different lighting. A very good example of using a hi-res image to crop out 2 different pictures.
I agree. When first looking at the original, I looked back and forth to the right and left sides. Mads seemed to have recognized the dual subjects and his pair would go beautifully side by side on the wall.
Nice and different edit Christian ! I like the highlights behind the hill, where is supposed to be the sun. However, I'm surprised you didn't kind of apply it to the reflexion in the water as well
Great tutorial, I'm surprised nobody went to B&W. It's complex image, too many stories. Clouds/Water, grass vs mountains and way strong colour . Can't really tell what struck you about the scene! I'm trying to take control of the viewer and say "hey this is what struck me."
Thanks Christian for commenting on my photo. I have seen many beautiful post-production versions I hope that this formula of being able to process your photos can be repeated. Thanks again, greetings Gabrisim
Interesting comparison, and nice demo. I only wish you'd explain why you do each edits. If I may suggest, you obviously have a vision in mind that droves the adjustments you made, which is the hard part. Doing the necessary edits is the easy part. E.g. you say at some point that you want to do some dodging... but why? Sure we can deduct your thought process after you've done an adjustment, but I'd like to hear you say what you were thinking that led to a particular choice of adjustment.
Bravo. Very interesting how everyone interprets a landscape. Almost all the editors did a very good edit. Nancy was definitely taking the piss 😂 She forgot to add Saturn and pterodactyls.
Thank you for the comment! I'm happy you liked the video! There is a backstory to Nancys edit and why she added these particular elements (I dont know if I can share it here publicly in the comments) which make the final image mean a lot more to hear. I think thats a great reason to edit in a "extremee" way like this :-)
I must have missed why we're using ISO 3200, was that explained at some point? Is working with high noise and low DR part of the challenge? The single shot at 1/8 could have been enough at ISO 100 probably. My apologies if I missed the explanation, I was editing as the video was running. Still very cool video, and well put together!
Thanks for the comment! The reason I shot at iso 3200 is because I shot a bracketed sequence and wanted to use shorter shutter speeds to prevent any weird artifacts when merging the hdr (just to be save). Also, with more modern cameras I never had any big issues with anything below ISO 6400 :-)
I did not read every comment. But would be great to see your top 9 (3X3) in one frame. Isolated I can't really decide what I like. There is the dark vs, warm vs, shadows. But a frame with 9 would really be great. That said I learned a lot about LR masking! Thank you!
Thanks for your comment, I didnt think about putting them all beisde each other, that would have been neat! I will do that for the enxt video for sure!
To me -- and obviously to Mads -- this photo breaks into two separate photos. Also, this experiment showed (again to me) that "dreamy" has it's niche but cannot be used all the time.
Personally I found the edit by Laura Oppelt to be the best, of course art is subjective but if I were to be purchasing a photo, this is the one I'd buy. Mads version is a solid second in my opinion
thanks for sharing a cool idea and the participation of some very talented landscape photographers. I just wish I would have done a version before I saw this. Maybe I will download file and sit on it for awhile, then come back to this video even though it's too late to have it on the show.
I prefer the James Tackrah version. 31:46. Generalky, if it looks like candy or hdr, I'm out. Unless you humoristically overdo it. The darker puzzle-whatever version 36:33 is nice too. He layered it and brought out the cloud, but it doesn't look too artificial.
Mark Denney edit make no sence. Sun is set low and he highlighted that mound + the highlight is colder color than light coming from the sky. Cool and dreamy looking but weird choice
Loved to see other TH-cam channels I watch all work on the same photo - great idea. I still can't grasp why anyone thinks that cranking contrast so much that you have *black* clouds in the middle of a bright sunset makes any sort of visual or logical sense. Huge red flag that you are not in fact a professional.
@@ThePhlogPhotography You don't have to apologize Christian. I was joking (as always). I meant that the pros should have been 8 (including me) and not 7. Tuscan humor...😀🤝🤝🤝
Hey man please do reply... Why I don't have that adobe standard profile selection in profile section even any of them are not visible... There is only 2 profiles are available... one is color and other is monochrome... Need to know about this settings or mybe there could be my mistake...
Hey there, are you editing a jpg? because then you only can chose between the two profiles. You need to edit a raw file in order to have more profiles available!

Thanks for having me on this one, Christian. Super fun to see the different versions of this photo! :D
Thanks you for participating in this little project Mads, I really appreciate that! I love how you created two images out of the original!
You are an amazing photographer bud
@@ThePhlogPhotographyI love the photo that you took.
Excellent approach and execution to produce natural images! Very well done indeed!
Laura's stood out from the rest, by far. 🙌
yessssssssss
Great concept for a video. It truly emphasizes how subjective post-processing really is
Turned out really cool, so great to see all different approaches! I liked the idea from the start and it was so much fun being part of it! Thanks very much! ☺️
Thank you so much for participating in this little project Laura!
In my opinion Laura's editing is the best of all. My second favorite is the picture from Lukas and the third is Isabella's work.
Initially I thought that the rather limited composition will also limit the edits, but seing Mads' crops surprised me. I liked them a lot. And I think the two crops stand out a lot more than the combined image. Very creative.
Also a nice the video which showed us a few more talented people.

Thank you very much for the kind comment!
Great video and thanks for inviting me to be a part of it!
I'm very happy you liked the video, Mark. Thank you for putting in the time to edit my image for this proejct!
Really liked the attention of Mads to cut it in 2 photos. Something was off in the composition, honestly, and then, he made it incredible. Also liked the edit!
I love this series of videos, Christian. It's fun and informative to see different artistic visions. Thanks for the opportunity to participate.
Thank you so much for taking your time to be part of this video Sean!

Thanks for the comment! I'm happy to have them both participate as well, I've been following them for so long!
I like Sandra's best of all, primarily due to the exposure to the rock formation in the middle range.
Mads version(s) were great but I really liked Laura’s the best. The glow around the sunrise light hasn’t yet extended to the whole scene giving a balance between warm and cool colours.
Another great video Christian and very interesting to see all the different techniques. It definitely emphasizes the fact that there's not really any right or wrong result, it comes down to individual taste
Laura’s was my favorite, but so interesting to see the various approaches.
Laura did amazing job.
I agree, her version looks amazing!
I’m torn between Sean and Laura’s edits. Both are fantastic! I can’t choose a favorite.
Thanks for the opportunity. Mine was a bit high key as you stated in the video. More so that I remember it being when I did the edit. Looking at it again I can also see that I could and should have recovered more detail in the clouds, lowered the sharpening some, along with the lower exposure.

Great and very inspiring Video! And a very pleasing presentation.👍💥

Lukas' picture has a 3-pop and a lot of three-dimensionality. Nice Colours and contrast.
Laura's picture has a great balance and beautiful, harmonious and pastel colors.

Thanks for featuring me Christian, gorgeous Idea and very interesting edits along.
Thank you for taking the time to edit my image for this video Sandro!
Awesome video, as always very informative, I had to drop out at the Photoshop part, this is like Witchcraft to me, way beyond my skills 🤣🤣

Excellent video, l learnt a lot about masking and loved seeing everyone’s edits. Thanks.
I personally loved Mark Denney Gabrisim and M. works
Thank you very much for showing my edit! Great video and it’s really nice to see how everyone edits their images. Regards. James Thackrah.
Hey James, thank you for submitting your version!!
Mads politely said that composition is bad, too wide. Nice of him!
Editing is a bit subjective. There are so many subtleties. It can be overwhelming, but it's worth it.
Great video with all those versions to learn from. Thanks for that!
A great idea. Hope to see more of these.
I lik Mad's version. It does show that there are 2 main compositions in this image, with different lighting. A very good example of using a hi-res image to crop out 2 different pictures.
I agree, this was a very clever way of handling this raw photo! Thats why this video is so helpful to me and hopefully everyone else watching it :-)
I agree. When first looking at the original, I looked back and forth to the right and left sides. Mads seemed to have recognized the dual subjects and his pair would go beautifully side by side on the wall.
The Lukas version is my favorite 👌
Mine too

I liked your edit. It was one of the more natural looking ones. Good job.

Hallo Christian, mir gefiel das Bild von Laura am besten.
Danke für das Kommentar Michael, Laurs Version ist wirklich stark!
Thanks for not having an exclusively male line-up, Christian. :)

Professional isnt defined by the editing choices someone makes but if they earn their living with what they do
I liked Sean’s version best
I prefer Laura's version
