The MCP  photo challenges give you an opportunity to edit other photographer’s images, share them for critique, and see how others edit the same photographs.  Participating allows you to practice editing, learn how to give constructive criticism, and watch what steps or Photoshop actions and Lightroom presets are used in various edits.  Join us to edit the bi-weekly photos.  There’s one more week left for this one.

Several of members of the group have shared great edits. Here are a few of the many MCP edited favorites:

This week the Photography Challenge continued with more exploration of depth of field.  The photo challenge is a great way to reach outside the box and work hard.  You have the support of a large group of photographers who can assist you and give you feedback as you work on specific themes and skills.  We loved seeing so many great photos. Here is another photo few we wanted to feature, but make sure to check the album on the group page for more.
