HOST NOTE: PM sent. I am challenging you as to the extent of the process, qualifying this as "Digital Art" under the rules and guidelines. If you feel you do fully comply you may edit your entry  and use optional Rule #13 explaining your process.

Old Rule #13. You should 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 may be disqualified.
THE EXPLANATION OF HOW THE IMAGE IS PROCESSED IS A VITAL PART OF THIS CONTEST.

Regards
Dave

Well, here are my thoughts on that -

1. It is all done in Photoshop with .raw files. That makes it digital.
2. Each individual frame was selected for it's potential to fit in the story I am trying to tell and was retouched and modified in PS as needed to best present the look I wanted,
3. The image you see is artistic compilation of images creatively combined in software to form a single image for the purpose of telling a visual story.  Most folks I know call that "art".
4. Pixel modification is the same, whether it is smearing around colors or changing backgrounds or selectively restructuring compositions. I don't see why there is a bias for one aspect over another.

Tytaniafairy has decided to allow your entry because are rules are so vague. I will tweak the rules now which will go into effect as of Wed, 5/13/2015

for Monday 5/11
https://davedavisphotography.com/images/mm2/shelby_5266-copy.jpg

I shot Arcadia, on a white backdrop and extracted her.  Swapped a background shot I did with me phone, later I blurred the to add depth (and obscure to people in Thunder Vally casino). I drew parts of the table for an earlier project and shot the poker chips (again w/Smartphone) at a friends house, in the box. Slapped the curves and tweaked the Hue to create mood. All work completed in CS6

Host note , so there is no confusion .

starting this week , the Friday winner will not be announced until Sunday at midnight . I am not sure how this has worked before but it seems there is a lot of confusion on this part .

Monday entries start as soon as Friday winner has been announced , and it goes as so on , as soon as the day winner has been announced Monday weds and Friday the next contest goes into effect . so as soon as the winner is announced as said you may put in your entry for next contest day . Thank you .

Though voting does not begin until the next day in that contest , ie if you enter Monday on Sunday night 12 am , you may not vote until Tuesday at 12 am (Monday night) , this give all of us more time to enter and equal time to vote . So if I entered weds contest at 12 am wed (Tuesday night after winner is announced ) then I could not vote till wed at 12 am (Thursday morning ) , In other words I am bringing the old hours back , thanks !!!!
