Perhaps if I used photo shop and added a mini axe in the the beardies hand or wrote REDRUM on the bottom with blood looking font then I may have been considered...

I think I may have actually put too much pride into my entry this year so I appolagise if I seem like I'm moaning.

Roll on next theme people!

I think the point was made that photoshop pictures are enhanced, they're not really 'naturally'. Even though to be honest with you I would say that photoshop is similar to using 'props' in that it enhances a picture and....

Ah to be honest I don't care anymore, I think that its about time the mods who vote everyone into the final and select the theme etc should say once and for all whether photoshop is allowed or not. I think it should be any editing/enhancing allowed (which includes props!) or non allowed and since this theme sort of relied on props...

If you was doing still life then i could understand not using photoshop, but using animals there is only so many natural poses to put them in without stressing them up. I agree that photoshop is like props because it does inhance a picture i also think photoshop should be allowed and be a personal choice whether we are allowed to use it or not,.

Photoshop is the new makeup.... HEELLLLLOOOO FUTUREEE!!!

Good idea, although it could need a little work and there would obviously be less prizes going around (Unless it was two for amateur and one for professional)

But then you'd have people who took really amazing great pictures putting it in the amateur section because they either don't believe they're THAT good or because they want to win.

There could always be alternate months in which photoshop and other enhancers/props are allowed then the others aren't allowed?

I think it should stay as it is, I mean i used photoshop last month and i didnt get in the votes, so i think its perfectly fair...xx

i think making one for amateurs and one for professionals is taking it too far.. like every one keeps saying it's only abit of fun!!

Yes but some of people are professionals or like your do photography at college and then some of us just have a mid range camera and just like snapping pictures. I am just thinking of more ways to make it fair for everyone.
