 That may be true in challenges such as this.  I was very heavy handed with the effect on my entry as i thought i'd see how far i could push it without actually vomiting

 Same for me. I don't like Orton effect, unless it's used just to enhance a little bit the colors (but still I never use it). In any case it's always good to experiment and try :)

 I hope this conversation thread gets started after the challenge.  It would be very interesting to see the before & after for something like this.

 Well, rats.  Maybe next time!  (Though I'm pretty sure I'll give a pass to Orton II.)  :-)

		| | I was up to a 6.7 at one point which was slightly worrying as i'd rather not have this craziness putting my nice dour monotone profile page out of joint. It's down to a 6.4 now so panic over hopefully.

		| | I think the key to this challenge was maybe not the amount of Ortoning, but the subject matter that got Ortoned. I'm shocked by my score...WAY higher than I was expecting, mind you I always expect middling to lower. Plus, I've gotten a nice dose of commenting so far, more than my last few entries combined. I have yet to vote, but I'll get to it eventually. |

		| | I think my mistake was that I didn't Orton the crap out if it.   I do love this effect, but, rarely do I care for it when it's too overdone.  So, I guess I'll just take my hit and be happy in the middle of the heap, which at this moment (until the next vote I'm sure), it is at 6.000. |
