The Revisit and Retouch project has finally come to a close. The participation was stellar, and I couldn’t be happier with the results of CaeraPorn’s first blog project. We had 17 solid entries and around 40 voters to decide who the overall winner would be.
The votes have been collected and counted and the winner is (insert drum roll)…
Tim Grimshaw
Tim went for a darker, more ominous feel, and though he ‘cheated’ 
using photomatix HDR software, the voters have spoken. One thing I’d like to note about Tim’s image is that despite using HDR software, he stayed away from that hyper-real dreamy look that is so often mis-used in HDRs. After his work in photomatix, he brought the image back into Lightroom, and completed his retouching there. Read his write-up here.
What Does He Win?
Well, because Tim lives in the UK, I’ve had to switch up my plans a bit, but he will receive a $50 Gift Card to a photography vendor of his choice as well as the opportunity if he chooses to accept it, to write a guest post on a topic of his choosing on CameraPorn.net. Congrats Tim!

Too bad I can’t win my own contest huh? Thank you guys for all your votes and continued support of cameraporn.net
Congrats Tim - nicely done!
good job Tim! congratulations!
Congratulations Tim!
If ‘cheating’ gets you results like this, then by all means, cheat away. Excellent work!
Haha. Yes, I use the word cheating loosely. Tim did an awesome job.
Thanks everyone - much appreciated! Was good fun doing it, and made me do some retouching techniques that I’d never done before too.
Ryan - I’ll send you a follow up mail too. Oh, and actually at the moment I’m living in the US
