Processing rules:

No restrictions. If you don't do much Photoshop, that's fine, but please don't mark down those who do, as a principle. Images are unlikely to do well in this challenge unless they have been manipulated.
Small, unobtrusive watermarks are allowed, and should not be penalised in voting.
Recommended image size is Facebook standard; 2048 pixels on the long side, but the challenge host (and voters) will tolerate other sizes.

Capture date rules:

No restrictions.

You must be the author of the image you enter.
If you enter, please vote.
If you vote, please vote fairly.
The challenge host will decide whether the entry matches the brief and may disqualify any that seem not to.
Please don't enter an image that has been entered into another challenge recently, or several times before. The challenge host may disqualify such entries at their discretion.
Photographs that are simple records of another's work are unlikely to score well; please show your own creativity.
Constructive comments welcomed - on any entry - at any time after the challenge has opened for submissions.
