I'm on this theme like a rash. Can't wait to see some of people's shots.

@ Sixtoes- you could post an image up, it's would be nice to see what you would have come up with for this theme.

Sprite, I hope you do better than most rashes... Sure, here's a quick one based on a shot I rejected for last week's CCCL. I went with a much more graphic look than I usually do - I see B/W as an opportunity to do some very different things. 💡 This was achieved with a few different layers with various blend modes.

​

It should be viewed at full res, though, to get the graphical - almost comic novel - look I was going for. Of course, there are some shots in this thread already that would kick my butt from here to Sunday, so it's a good thing I can't enter!

whoops! I forgot i used that. I'll change my enrty to this:

Thanks - but you'll also want to edit your original post to remove the original 'final' entry, otherwise you have two 'final' entries.

I noticed the word 'abstract', exactly how 'abstract' are we allowed to get?

Reading through the rules I can't say my idea goes against any of the 'may nots' but also isn't explicitly listed in the 'may dos', should I just post it (when I've made it) and hope for the best? and change if need be?

Good question. While I'll be judging submissions on content, I imagine Slip would be the final arbiter on whether an image is within the rules as it regards editing. Since you've got plenty of time, I say go ahead and post it - letting us know what you did that's not explicitly in the 'may do' list - and if there's a problem, you'll have enough time to change it. Abstract images can certainly still be created that are well within the limitations, so I'm looking forward to your creation.

Already 20 shots up; it's going to be a tough time come poll day...

Oh noes! My favourite thing ; colour balance, has been taken away! I've also been challenged by.....someone...to only enter with landscape shots for a month so this is going to be a difficult one!

A question for the judge and slipztream:

Will this picture be allowed? http://img860.imageshack.us/img860/7074/advancedwk16test11.jpg

So two things I wonder, 1, is it allowed to post one without a car and 2, is that worn/used effect allowed?

If it is, I'm not saying I'd make this one my final entry, I'm still not comfortable with the settings, but at least I know if it would be allowed or not.

[SlipZtrEm]

Sheferd - Yep, when in doubt, post it . Or if you'd like, PM me or even sixtoes with it; him if it's more about the theme itself, me if it's to do with the rules.

I have the feeling Six has put himself in a rough position, since this will quite possibly have the largest turnout yet...

As far as the content is concerned, yes it's allowable to have just a landscape/scenery shot without any car in frame (in fact, I suspect we'll see more like that). As for the effect, the grain/noise is certainly allowable (I use it all the time), so I guess the question is about the creasing effect. I'll probably have to let Slip make the final determination on that, but it seems fine to me - particularly since my hand-made photo frames often have a similar look.

Why do you think I wanted to offer HDR as a theme this week? Yeah, I'm going to have a tough time of it come Sunday morning, that's for sure.

I'd totally be down for HDR

aidan8500: Interesting use of B&W with a shallow DoF; nice job with the reflections. I get the feeling I'm going to have a hard time judging at the end of all this.

thanks so much, had this one waiting around for the right comp, hope it does well
