Great to see this up and running, hopefully there'll be a steady stream of entries up until the deadline date. Best of luck to all entrants!
I'd kindly ask the mods to delete the
reserved posts - and any future posts which don't contain entries - just for the sake of keeping things clean and tidy. There's no need to
reserve a post near the beginning of the thread.
Regarding manipulation, you guys make the final rules; it'd be nice if we were allowed to change lighting, contrast, saturation and all that stuff but personally I'm dead against
manipulation where things are added or taken away from the photo. This is a photography contest, not a photo editing one after all. Just my take on things, feel free to disagree.
Again, good luck everyone!
