Contest Brief

Contest Description:
I am looking for talented photo editors and digital artists to transform a casual mirror selfie into a professional-looking portrait. I need this for my corporate intranet, so looking for headshot, shoulders, about halfway down the chest.

The challenge is to edit the provided image to make it appear as if it was taken by someone else, rather than a selfie. The final output should be clean, natural, and polished while maintaining a realistic and professional aesthetic.

Editing Requirements:

1. Hand Adjustment: Replace the raised arm holding the phone with both arms resting naturally at the sides. Ensure the posture and hand positioning look realistic.
2. Remove the Phone and Mirror: Eliminate the phone and mirror so it no longer looks like it was a selfie.
3. Background Enhancement: Clean up the background to make it look neat and balanced, while keeping it consistent with the setting. Minor adjustments like tidying the bed or desk are encouraged. Remove them if it makes it easier
4. Lighting and Color: Adjust the lighting and color to create a polished, professional appearance. Maintain a natural look without over-editing.

Submission Guidelines:

• The final output must retain the natural essence of the original image while achieving the requested adjustments.
• Provide the edited image in high resolution.
• Maintain proportions and ensure all edits blend seamlessly into the photo.
• You are welcome to provide before-and-after comparisons or additional details about your editing process (optional).

Judging Criteria:

• Realism of the adjustments (e.g., arm positioning and phone removal).
• Creativity and attention to detail.
• Clean and polished final presentation.
• Overall alignment with the request.

Oh, how sad! I spent 3 hours editing, and when I went to publish, a winner had already been chosen. It was so good.
