Processing rules:

Please do not use HDR, focus stacking, composites, or artificially vivid colors.
No frames, watermarks, or copyright notices.

Capture date rules:

Images must be shot after the announcement date of the challenge.

Additional rules:

Colors and contrast should appear natural and realistic -- no artificially vibrant colors.
Exif data with dates must not be removed from the .jpg file.
Photos not in compliance with the rules will likely be disqualified, depending, of course, on the mood of the host.
Don't take this too seriously.
If you cheat on the date, the fleas of 1000 camels will infest your armpits.
Voting: Vote on the natural content of the photo rather than the artistic merit.
Voting: Please view the photo and don't vote on thumbnails.
Voting: Vote 0.5 only for those photos not in compliance with the rules.
