Processing rules:

No unsharp mask or similar to further blurr the background, which must come from a wide Aperture/Long focal length/Separation of background from the subject etc. Well you get the point. Otherwise feel free in PP, but no Photoshop artificial creations, which I reserve the right to judge what that is if any photo is in the borderland. Sharpening, saturation, contrast etc of the subject ok.

Capture date rules:

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

Additional rules:

Only Micro Four Thirds Cameras Olympus and Panasonic. Any kind of lens accepted. Anyone cheating with the capture date rule will be immediately reported to DP for cheating.
