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.

For whatever 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
