Weekly #554 - Have another go! Competition

Competition Details
Closing Date: 25/02/2018
Judge: user_removed

This competition is for you to demonstrate an improvement in your picture-taking and/or editing skills.

The subject is: anything you submitted to a previous competition on PentaxUser and did NOT win.

Following the criticism of the previous judge, this is your chance to 'have another go' by submitting a reworked picture. For example:
- you revisited a location when the light was more favourable
- you found a better angle to minimise distracting backgrounds / foregrounds
- your skills have improved to control what is in or out of focus
- you are familiar with the editor and can improve colours / contrast.

I expect more than just a refined crop or straightened verticals. Please mention which competition, and under what title, you entered previously.

Here is a thread for questions about this competition. If you are unclear, please ask before submitting an entry.

Standard weekly competition rules apply:
Pictures must be taken with a Pentax camera or closely-related clone.
Entries may be shot for the competition or taken from your archives.
The winner is expected to select the following week's topic and judge the competition, giving comment on each entry.

The competition closes at midnight GMT on Sunday, 25th February.

Chers to the comprehensive comments and congratulations to the well deserved winner

My mind wonders to strange places at times haha...now I might have to put your vision to work Abe! This image was crafted as request for a print and as weird as it may be, seems to have gone down well..or they are just tactful enough! Who knows

Thank you Abe for setting and judging the competition and for my winning spot. The image is just a single 3 sec. shot taken on a 2 sec. timer, within that time I spun the lazy susan, got myself in position as seen, picked up and pretended to drink from the bottle of Roku.
I would have to agree the image is a bit messy with stuff that I should have moved out of the way or cloned post capture. When I have an idea that is all I'm thinking about and the finer details go out the window.
