12th Annual "Fix Joe's Busted Images" Contest (AI Edition!)

It's that time of year! To help get through the 101-degree weather each year, and to practice our image editing techniques, HoustonPhotowalks publishes about a half dozen of Joe's images and challenges you to edit them.

You have until July 5th (about a week) to edit and upload your fixed photos!

All year we've heard about "Artificial Intelligence". Ready to give it a try? Here's your chance to show off! The gloves are off on this contest. Go nuts with your edits, no rules (Well, 1 rule: one edit variation per photo). Show us what you can do with Artificial Intelligence and Joe's busted images!

A Note About AI
We'll do a 2nd "non-AI" contest after this contest is over. Some people have very strong feelings about AI image editing -- and that's ok. We are all aware of the controversies. This is meant to be a fun way to learn and practice skills for those that want to use them. If you aren't interested in AI image editing, we'll do a Photoshop / Lightroom editing version soon.
The Busted Images
Here they are in this Dropbox zip file. There are even a few old ones from when I shot film!
