Contest Photo Weather

In summary, the contest rules are that you must resize your photo to no more than 650 x 490 or 490 x 650 pixels, and you may crop your picture if you wish. You are also allowed to adjust the brightness and contrast of your picture but these should not dramatically alter the look of the picture. You may add a watermark or your name/nickname to the photo for identification purposes. You are limited to one picture per member per contest. Once a picture is posted, it cannot be changed other than a total withdrawl by that member from that week's photo contest. Exceptions will be made for modification to comply with the rules, such as resizing. The contest will end at the end of the week

Hello, back from my hols so I can run the contests again. Thanks to everyone who kept this going when I was gone

As far as my stance on the manipulation issue goes, I have no intention of changing the rules ZapperZ used in his time running the contest. This does mean simple stuff such as panoramas, b&w conversion etc is ruled out, as is a whole host of other stuff. I kind of feel that it would be opening the floodgates if I were to allow these things in. For example if I were to allow stitched panoramas, why not stitched Photo planets which more or less work on the same principle, but are certainly what I'd call a special effect. As far as I'm concerned, the same applies to darkroom stuff as it does to digital. If you've done anything fancy to it in processing, it can't be entered.
