This part is important!

So that the gallery can be viewed by everyone, pictures should be resized BEFORE submittal. MAXIMUM file size is 150kb and 800x600 pixels (I usually make my longest side 650 and it seems to work just fine).

For each picture, Please include:

Your Name
Picture Title
Camera Used
Description/Comments (optional)
Post Processing Details
Date of Picture (required for Eligible Gallery only)

• Pictures missing any of the required info will not be eligible.

Please do not send off-topic entries. If there may be a question as to whether or not your entry fits the topic, then please include an explanation with the picture. The moderator and uploaders have the final decision on whether or not to upload a picture for consideration.

We have a very liberal rule about post processing. Basically, anything goes. It will be up to the voters to decide how much is too much.

On this particular challenge, I suggested that you don't just take any old picture and alter the coloring in PS to make it fit the category. This does not mean that you can't tweak saturation or even use a layer to multiply. It does mean that you probably shouldn't take a picture of a zebra and paint it orange. The challenge is to PHOTOGRAPH color, and I believe that the voting will reflect that.

Thanks again to our dedicated volunteers for keeping this challenge up and running!
