Photography Contest Rules

Every Week we will have a Photography Contest

The rules are as follows:


Your submission must be:

• Taken with a digital camera that records EXIF, and EXIF should be left in the submission
  
• Attached to your post.
  
• Taken and post-processed by you.
  
• Created from a single capture, unless the contest specifies otherwise
  

You may:

• Use any feature of your camera, EXCEPT to combine multiple images into one
  
• Crop, rotate, resize your entry
  
• Use filters or stand alone utilities designed to preserve image integrity (Neat Image, Noise Ninja, Unsharp Mask, dust & scratch and color correction tools) These filters must be applied uniformly to the entire image. No effect filters may be used past Noise and Gaussian Blur.
  
• Saturate / desaturate or change the colors of your entry, but only as applied to the whole image
  
• Add a border to the outside edge of your image, if it's easily visible as such
  Use RAW conversion software, so long as all changes are made globally
  

You may NOT:

• Spot edit the entry, except to remove sensor dust or hot pixels
  
• Submit the same image in two consecutive contests
  
• Submit any image that previously won or an image that was picked for voting less then 5 weeks ago
  
• Submit more than one image per contest
  
• Make any edits to a selection of the image
  Add objects or features (such as text, lens flare, clip art, renders, parts from other photos) to the image
  
• Remove objects or features other then sensor dust/hot pixels
  
• Distort or stretch the image in any way
  
• Submit a photo containing anything that goes against the general rules of the site (nudity, etc)
