Great shot, but I'm very confused about the rules for open challenges which state:

"Spot-Editing: Absolutely no spot-editing is allowed. This includes, but is not limited to drawing tools, dodging/burning tools, and cloning tools"

Is this now allowed?

I bet you didn't tell her what the title was... I like it (and the photo). Possibly a bit of ironing might help the sheet though, or put it further in the backround and make it out of focus with a large f.

The Recital

I like this image a lot, but am confused about the rules (yes Im new - sorry). The rules state that no selection or editing tools may be used, but here grigrigirl has selectivly deleted parts of a layer copy. To selectivly add colour to the dressses would seem to break the rules, as far I can understand them?

The rules also seem to preclude putting multiple images on top of one another, as without special blending modes and/or a completely black background and/or selective deleting, ghostlieness would occur. Unless the left girl is 2 foot taller than the other two, or jumping in the air, then it would appear to be a montage?

Anyway, I still give it 10.
