Hi, I have been shown this image because I'm in some doubt as to why I'm about to be disqualified for doing exactly what you did here - I increased the vignette on Lightroom under the 'lens correction' tools. I agree with you wholeheartedly, this shouldn't be seen as any more than basic editing - your shot is fantastic, as is the rest of your work, and you did what I would call a global change, which should be allowed under basic editing rules. Not only that, but its a lens correction - if you can crop, rotate, adjust levels, desaturate any colour you wish and thereby creating a completely different effect, I don't see why you can't increase the vignette.
Congratulations on your amazing photos, they are all worthy of constant ribbons!
cheers,
Trish |

| Not to worry, this could be an album cover or one for the wall. I personally value more out of peoples comments and the fact they may add my shot to their favourites. That means alot. As much as we love DPC , it is only a spec in the universe ! |

I am also really disappointed that this got dq'd! As I stated during the challenge, this was my strong pick for blue. And I didn't think anything you did in RAW before you even opened the picture counted against the basic editing rules. Eeeeeeee. . ..now I know. Sorry you had to be the sacrificial lamb that taught us all that rule.
But everyone's right. It doesn't take away from how awesome the photo is. . .only that there's a pink highlight marking it instead of a yellow ribon :( |

I don't understand why this picture got disqualified. As far as I can tell there was no spot editing although Larus did use the vignetting tool in the Adobe Camera RAW converter. I feel it extremely difficult to understand how that can be called 'spot editing' and for that matter I've used it in a basic challenge myself - //www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=271074
I hope this judgement will be reconsidered, at least if the vignetting was the sole reason for the disqualification. |

| This is an excelent photo; the contrast, the sense of motion, the expression on her face. The only thing that would make it better, for me, is if there was a bit more detail on her cloths. I can sees the belt buckle but everything else is lost in the darkness. |

Wow! I haven't gone through all the images, but I have a feeling that I won't find a better one. Great contrast, good composition. One thing I would have tried is a different crop. Centered composition is rarely the best choice, especially since the bottom of your photo is dark. I would have cropped out most of the road in front of her feet.
Bump up to 10 on second pass. I found some better ones now that I'm done with them all, but this is still a yellow or a red ribbon potential IMO. |
