With a 1.7 spread between commenters and the overall average, it's obvious if you stop and look at this for a while you'll appreciate it a lot more -- sorry we couldn't get you up to a 5.

I was on deadline and about a 33% magnification -- I just never really noticed it. I thought it was a pretty darned stupid rule and ruling too, but I had to admit that they were enforcing the rules as written and equally to everyone.

Maybe if I hadn't oversharpened it so it made that halo under the dark edge it would have slipped by ...

Originally posted by lnede: Photoshop was only used to increase contrast, brightness, saturation, crop, and the use of cloning tool to remove some imperfections. The star appearence was achieved by using a small mirror on the apple and a laser light directed at the mirror. A cross screen 4X filter was used on the camera lens.

Thanks for the info. It would be very helpful to put stuff like this in the "additional info" field to start with -- that's what it's there for. : )

Congratulations, I'm happy to see this finished far higher than I would have guessed.
