Contest Brief

Create a beautiful composition or illustration of the scene depicted in the provided set of photos (download link at the bottom).

The photos show the same scene captured under different illumination conditions. You will a create a beautiful, artistic composition starting from these pictures. You can use any digital editing or painting technique as you see fit.

Some possible techniques are listed, but not limited to the ones below:
- create a beautiful montage by compositing different parts of photos into a single image
- overlay different illuminations with various levels of transparency or transfer modes e.g. soft light, screen in Photoshop
- use dodge and burn to improve and change illumination, or levels and curves to adjust photo exposure and contrast
- use other tools e.g. HDR imaging, that can be adapted for the use on the image set provided (even if not meant to be used with it)

You will summarize the steps required to create the composition and list the tools used. This will help with the final decision to evaluate the technical quality of the composition. You will provide the master file (.PSD file) upon being awarded the prize.

One submission per person is preferred, however if you'd like to provide multiple options please submit each version of your work as a separate entry.

The prize will be awarded primarily based on the aesthetic appeal of the composition. Photographic quality and technique will also play a role in the final decision.

Be creative and have fun!

Dear participants,

After careful consideration a winner has been decided. It's been a tough decision.

In terms of aesthetics and creativity entry #44 has been awarded the 1st place. The artist has thoughtfully enhanced the light, colors and the balance of the composition.

Runner-ups are entries #35 for the use of reflections and #15 for the naturalness of the illumination. It is interesting to note entries #4 , #48 and #49 for their use of contrast.

Thank you for your participation!

Best regards,
Vlad
