100 entries, 1914 votes Let's see pictures evocating quietness
Better Off Without It Voting ends today (Wednesday, 10 Feb 2010)
71 entries, 1246 votes This is a challenge for inpainted images. When something bad -- dust shadows, red eyes, ugly obstructions, etc. -- appears in one of your photos, you can remove that bad thing and replace it with a credible thing that doesn't distract attention from the subject of your photo. General inpainting used to be very difficult, but digital post-processing tools like GREYCstoration and GIMP's "smart-remove-selection" plug-in (both freely available) automate the process, and manual inpainting using "healing" tools and custom brushes is fairly easy.

Bare Trees Voting ends tomorrow (Thursday, 11 Feb 2010)
300 entries, 4339 votes After the colors of fall fade away, we are left with what appears to be the skeleton of the tree...not very becoming...or is it? With the bare tree as the subject (no people or animals) look for the beauty of textured bark, gracefully twisting limbs or gnarly knots. Close ups are fine!
Dramatic Light: Soft Focus Voting ends in 2 days (Friday, 12 Feb 2010)
64 entries, 556 votes For years, photographers demanded - and received - sharper and sharper lenses. Some photographers bucked that trend, realizing that a slightly obscured lens could create dream-like photos. They tried to increase this "soft focus" effect using a special lens, petroleum jelly applied to a clear filter, shooting through gauze or special filters with diffused coatings (e.g. Cokin). Most filters blended light colors into dark, but some blend dark areas into light. Digital images create new opportunities and there are hundreds of ways to achieve a soft focus effect. This challenge demands that you demonstrate one of those techniques withOUT relying on specialized software or plug-ins. In other words, you have to create the effect from scratch (and that will required a bit of research).
