    [​IMG] The 'Enhanced Photo' Competition.


    [​IMG] This months theme has been chosen by Dave W, our very worthy winner of last months competition, it is "Still Life"..

    I think this is definitely one to stretch the imagination.... ;) So Let's see what you can all come up with to "wow" us all with then.. :D


    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.
    2. You can enter up to three (3) pictures.
    3. Give your picture a title
    4. Post your pics within this thread for entry into the competition. Pics posted in other threads will not be considered
    5.Pics have to be taken within the current competition month

    6.You CAN use software for enhancement or manipulation of a single original image. This may include submission of an image comprising multiple layers of the original image.
    Any image deemed to be more than one single image of multilayers, willl deleted.. Mods decision is final.

    7. The winner will be decided by votes by the users of the forum.

    8. The winner of the competition gets to choose the theme for the next month's competition. This theme is to be kept a seperate & different theme from the" Current Monthly Photo Comp" theme.

    Please post discussion for this months pictures and about the competition HERE


    The very best of luck to you all this month !!

    It's getting on this month - so I thought I'd better get on with it!

    So, I've done the same as last month - the same picture manipulated on and on!

    Here's number 1 - "Bubbles and stripes!"

    [​IMG]

    and number 2 - "The Circle of Still Life" (sorry.......!)

    [​IMG]

    and number 3 - "Ripples"

    [​IMG]

    and they all came from this....
