		| | "Tell a story or create a theme with two or three seperate photographs". This is the challenge description. The question is: two or three is a way to talk or is the real meaning. In another words, if I submit a kind of collage made, let's guess, with 7 pictures, can I be DQ? 
 Thanks

		| | I would say it needs to be two or three separate photos, not a collage. That's how I see it.

		| | I think it needs to be 'separate' photos, but if you did more than 3, I think it would depend on the individual voter...you're limited to 640x640 - wouldn't you rather use 2 or 3 good ones and show clear shots rather than a bunch of small, hard to see things?  At least that's what I'm being told.

		| | You wouldn't be disqualified.  However it's quite likely that some voters would downgrade your shot.

		| | Hmmm 
 Perhaps this is the moment my tiny pictures come into their own. I could get 288 of the in 640x640

		| | It said "spot editing allowed", which means you can make a collages of them.  Take 2-3 photos and make a collage is perfectly fine.  The only requirement is that you have to have 2 SEPARATE photos, how you present it on screen is up to you (otherwise, why bother to allow post editing? |

 Because there are plenty of other reasons to do post editing other than cutting and pasting pictures together ?
 
 
 While I agree that you certainly can do what you like, I expect entries with more than 3 pictures or pictures cobbled together will get downgraded, as they certainly are not the typical triptych or diptych mentioned in the challenge definition - but as ever entries won't get DQed for heavy editing, they just don't tend to do very well.
 
 Nobody's stopping you.

		| | this is probably a stupid question, but do the 2 to 3 pics used need to be taken in the submission time period for this challenge? i see that the editing rules are out but I am unclear about the pics.

		| | A diptych or triptych is 2 or 3 photos layed out vertically, horizontally, angularly, or other similar arrangement with a common theme. anything else such as displaying many photos would not fit that description.

 Again, i'd expect all images used to be taken during the submission period

 I agree entirely.  However, it should be noted that one or each of the separate photos that make up the di/triptych could itself be a collage of many images.

		| | EXACTLY -- rather than just cut and paste and group them together, you can do creative image mergings.. that's what I am getting at (using blend with layers, etc.) 
 Heck, i am going to submit something that I like -- i ain't no whore, Gordon :) screw the scores!
