Processing rules:

Basic post processing (Single Exposure):
- Only: cropping, brightness, contrast, saturation (if post-processing it's too hard, on my opinion, I can disqualify it);;
Multiple exposure:
- HDR ok, but it must appear as real as possible (on my opinion I can disqualify it);
Don't create star effect on the light through post-processing;
The best photos are those natural.

Capture date rules:
