" Black & white or Sepia...!!
:wink: I think Woo has left it up to us what we do & the subject... Quote:
Everyone should be able to come up with some great shots as these techniques can turn an average shot into a stunning one. They have that OLd Fashioned & Nostalgic feel to them.. :wink::gnthb:

:thmb: So come on everybody , I am sure there is something for all of us here maybe we will be able to try something new...!!

Enhancement is up to you, allot or not allot, that is your choice... Check the Guidelines if you haven't joined in before the comp is open to all members....!

Good Luck Everyone..



Can everyone please look at Guideline 6 before entering as there is a slight change. Just about everyone does it anyway I know. Allot of you have commented on how it helps when trying to make decisions on votes, if they are included. So we have made it part of the competition now to keep everything fair & square for everyone...!

A Competition for Enhanced Photographic Images.


For Photos taken within the given month, enhance/improved with the use of post picture processing software.

Reasons you may wish to enhance a photo could be to compensate for mistakes made when taking the photo, or indeed to change its atmosphere completely. For example reverting to black and white or maxing out the contrast for a really vibrant sunset.

To ensure we have common starting place for competing, a few ground rules have been established. These will ensure a common standard of submission and ensure photographs are comparable for voting at the end of the month

Please follow the guidelines below:-

1.All entries to be submitted by 23.59Hrs on the last day of the month of the competition.

Any image deemed to be more than one single image of multi layers, will be deleted.. Mods decision is final.
