This new challenge started in May 2011 thanks to a Kambrosis idea. As said then, this monthly challenge is a place to post a picture and wait for other members' versions. This can be good to learn about different choices in the edition of colors, light, crop… and all possible techniques we can do with our edition software. It would be great also if every edition has a little explanation about what the member did to get his/her version.
The rules are: 1. The winner of the previous month will host the current month challenge by uploading one picture with no edition and open the forum. 2. The challenge is launched on the 15th of each month and closes on the last day of the month. 3. Each member may present three versions of the picture. 4. On the first two or three days of the following month, the winning version will be announced and the winner will be invited to be responsible for the next month challenge.

Just a fast edition. Off course the guy did not have enough balls. The photo begged for it. Now, he has way more than he can handle

Thanks for your version Vidar, some more balls is a good idea here, highlighted with the color edition.

I used the original picture and two other pictures I found in Woophy with balls:
One from Marco Coelho: 
Another one from Pix_by_Kermit: 
I hope they won't sue me 
This is the result. I call this picture "Clumsy"

@Marek: hehehe, I'm not sure wich of your editions is more dangerous In the first one you made a very good work cropping the background from the fence's holes. I hope in the second edition you didn't hurt yourself with the cactus balls Thanks for your fun versions!

I used Adobe Photo Elements 10 to brighten the colours and light. Than I selected a gul from an other photo and let him pick the ball.

Well, this time with only 6 pictures it was a bit fast to choose a winner 
Dieuwertje's and Marek's versions are really funny, and also is Abílio's version that I liked very much so, apart of the enhancement of the light/colors, he solves in a very original way an aspect I didn't like from the original picture, the feet were cropped.
But my favorite was Cloudbuster's version

the cropped feet are solved making a heavy crop, adding some more balls makes the scene more interesting, and also the color edition is an original way to focus on the balls.
So Vidar, well done and please next month give us a good picture to play. Cheers!!

Thank´s, Zoidberg! I´m glad you liked it! I´ll pick a photo with some possibilities for editing. Actually,.. every photo needs a little editing, and it should be easy to pick one
