When this contest was re-started there was a lot of discussion as to running it leniently in regard to the rules in order to get more competition and to allow time for everybody to participate. Apr 28 13 04:57 pm Link I also wanted to let everybody know I will be out of town May 10th thru 19th with limited to no internet and wanted to know if anybody wanted to take over thru that time? Apr 28 13 04:58 pm Link Perhaps if you would put those issues as rules, the next new person or one of the originals like myself coming back will not be confused. I was not there from your onset of you taking over the contest so I had no idea that you would be a tiebreaker or voting late as to be lenient. Thank you for clarifying.

Apr 28 13 09:35 pm Link Monday morning bump for entries Apr 29 13 02:26 am Link Shot this in Coney Island , NY . Passed it through a few filters and retouched colors a bit . Not sure if this fits in the contest since there is no model in it , I didn't see it in the rules , but do let me know . Apr 29 13 02:27 am Link Shot on location, model , foreground grass and headstone are real, background was built in layers and added after extraction, multiple finishing layers completed by Purple Princess Edits. Apr 29 13 02:31 am Link Bartonville's haunted Insane Asylum shot on location. Willy Adkins shot in studio. After some poking and prodding, I got the crazy face I wanted. Inserted him into the background shot of the asylum....cleared the day sky and added night time effect....added red fog and rain...gave certain areas of the shot some glow for symmetry....then hi-def'd the entire shot to give a really spooky feel...

Used a stock photo I had taken on my trip to Oregon, and a few other photos used with permission. I did a lot of color blending and dodge and burning to bring out the model with against the colors. A light matte finish using the curves, and subtle soft painting and brush lighting used through-out. About a 4 hour process to reach a happy point. (As most of you know, 2 hours of that is spent getting the perfect cut) On a side note. I'd be glad to help out with running the contest as well. Though my schedule is wonky, so I think Purple Princess would be great for the job.
