Enhanced December 2008 Photo Comp..!!

Well done to Woo for last months winning pic..!

Woo has given us a theme that is seasonal but specific which is...... "Christmas Decorations inside and out" Now this compliments the monthly comp very well as it is Christmas in a very short while now..!!

:thmb: Now this theme will cover everybody in GC very well...You are all so good at interpreting the themes in your own individual ways..!!! I am sure this gives everyone a chance to photograph & do something special"..!!


So come on everyone & have a go...!! There could be some very interesting pictures from you all with this theme I think..!!

Good luck

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.
2. You can enter up to three (3) pictures.
3. Give your picture a title

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

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