THE FINAL TEN!!! “Extreme Processing” Photo Challenge

[F.Gordon]

Poll question: THE FINAL TEN!!! “Extreme Processing” Photo Challenge

Here they are. The FINAL TEN!!! A big thanks goes to regnaD kciN for coming up with this idea, organizing the challenge, and putting a ton of work into it.
:yourock:

This special Photography Group Challenge is on the subject of "Extreme Processing." In other words, what entrants here have done with their photographs using post-processing techniques (usually involving some form of image editor) to make the final result a significant departure from the original photo, as well as a pleasing image in its own right.

Each entry consists of the final ("after") image, plus a smaller version of the original photo ("before").

This voting poll will remain open till mid or late next week-ish.
