Can the photo be touched up in Photoshop or are you wanting just whatever comes into the lense of our camera?
As I said on the show.. no criteria (sorry, I just don’t want to be more helpful at the moment :))
is there anyway to see others submissions so far?
Steven: sorry, no, they’ll all be revealed at the end of the contest
sounds good, because mine was hevily photoshopped, i don´t think i will really win, because what i did takes no photography skill, i just sent it just in case if any of you guys liked it.
I’ll also send mine in just for fun
I don’t think it’s fair since some people might not have good photogenic portraits.
But I’ll give it a try
Thanks for the wonderful podcast.
My picture may crack some peoples screens when they view it but I’ll send it anyway!
So will the winner be announced before your vacation departure Chris?
