So a quick question about the rules.
Lets say I took a photo of a red flower that was magnificent and much better than any yellow flowers I photographed. I then used PS to shift the colour to yellow and entered it in the yellow challenge.
Does this break any of the editing rules? I know under the rules I am allowed to use colour shift but would it fall foul of the "creating major parts" rule?
As far as I can tell, it would be no different to taking a color picture and changing it to Black and White for a "Black and White" challenge. |

No that should be fine. However, it'll probably get dinged in the voting if the voters can tell it's the wrong color.

I say that is legal, but the major concern is that voters' monitor is calibrated to see the same shade of yellow.

Unless it doesn't, of course.

| None of the ribbon winners in the Orange challenge were actually orange (although the blue winner was sort of a rosy salmon). |

Have you been paint shopping lately? "Rosy Salmon" kinda sounds like a Dunn Edwards color. :-) |

Yes but that's done in a clever way. I was referring to those that are done just to meet the challenge and nothing else. I'm pretty sure if that same photo was entered in a "blue" challenge and the stop sign was blue it wouldn't have placed 2nd. Anyway, I was just making a comment as to how it may be received by the masses.

Huh? It was entered in the Green challenge and the sign was shifted to green. How is blue any different? |

Well for that particular photo if the sign was blue it would of been entered into camoflauge...

My guess is because the red means stop/green means go "common" knowledge played a big part in the impact of the photo.
Switching it out to blue for a "Blue" challenge would (to me) seem more like a shoehorn into the challenge, instead of being the clever reversal I attribute with the green sign saying stop.
But that's just me and I've been known to be way out of sync with most folks on here. Heh. :)

Thanks for the clarification. That's exactly what I was talking about.

It's the shock effect of the mixed message; green means "go", but the sign says "stop". It's a very witty picture, there's an underlying reason for the color shift, and the voters picked up on that.
