OK, just so you know.

I am friends with Purple Princess edits. 

So to cast the final tie breaking vote. I flipped a coin. Wanted to be fair and felt that was the best way.

Shouldn't Mediademon have won this since Purple Princess Edits was in violation of Rule 13 [You must post with your entry what medium (software used) and how you processed the artwork(example : Photo, new background, Painted etc or Oil painted, photoshop etc...) If you do not post how you processed it (steps taken) and the medium, you will be disqualified.]?

And if you had been here in the earlier discussions it was determined that the guidelines / rules were going to be lightly administered. And I will overlook most areas as was the determination of the majority of the group participating at the time. Because IF I were to administer the rules to the letter, we would have no entries a lot of days.

Basically if they don't violate rules 1,2,3,4,6 and 8 don't expect me to be heavy handed.

So I'll ask again. DO I continue to be light handed or follow to the letter of the rules?

Would you like the rules revised?

Would someone else like to run the contest?

I'm sorry if I struck a nerve with my question.  I only asked it for clarification.

I understand that the submission field can be sparse at times and I do appreciate your commitment to running this contest.

For the sake of clarity, may I suggest changing rule 13 from: "You must post..." to "You should post..." and eliminating the last sentence about being disqualified?

I enjoy this contest and I would really like to see it continue & thrive.

Sincerely,
Jerry O

Just a little touchy, lost my mom two weeks ago and dealing with a lot of personal issues.

I have taken into consideration your comment and have revised the rules.

Anybody else have suggestions?

Title: Beautiful Manipulation

Editing: Edited on CS6, Image of female is my photography, background is a purchased stock photo. The lighting was used from the photoshop filters, dodged and burned throughout the entirety of the photo. Light uses of denoise with a subtle touch of noise on the smoothed skin. Used overlay with a paintbrush to enhance eyes and jewelry. Also a few additions to hair fullness.
