Hey people, I have a question in regards to my potential entry
Can the S curve be backwards or does the line HAVE to be in the shape of an S?
The picture that I want to submit has a clear line running across it, but in a way that creates a backwards S
If necessary I could flip the picture, but to me that looks awkward and I like it better the natural way.
Do you think people would be so picky as to give me low scores for not being an exact S? |

| I wouldn't be so picky. The point is to use the technique and that is certainly the S-curve technique regardless of what direction it goes in. |

For the most part, you'll probably be fine with any sort of S shaped curve regardless of chirality.
But, be aware, some people will still vote you down because the blasted thing isn't purple... |

Challenge Details: An S-curve is a line (often in the shape of an 'S') that leads the viewer through the image. Use the classic S-Curve to compose your photo. The curve may be literal or implied.
I would say that you should be okay unless people don't read the details! |

This means that an S-curve isn't always in the shape of an 'S'.
So, I think you'll be fine.

Ok, thanks. well I am relieved then. I really didn't want to flip it.
Though, I am not really expecting high scores regardless :-P |

Actually shot one with an S-curve just a short while ago.

| A backward S-curve is known in photography circles as a 2-curve and is very different from an S-curve. I'd vote it DNMC! |

So there you are: Let's see, averaging it all out, (carry the one, square root of the 2nd power, lose the one, add seventeen+some more stuff). AHA you're gonna get a 5.
Yeah, just joking.
Go with the picture that excites you and meets the Challenge as best you can interpret it. And... good luck! It's a fun game.

Is flipping the image allowed in advanced? |

It affects the entire image equally, so it should be allowed in Basic. (unless I'm completely nuts anyway..) |

Yes, it's allowed.
I've got my entry in. I'm not 100% thrilled with it, but hopefully I will come up with something better over the weekend. Might not have much chance to edit any more entries though, with our GTG this weekend it'll be busy.

| I'm in. Seems like a low turnout at the moment, but it's early. I've puked on my shoes lately, but I 'm really happy with this one. And that's all that matters. Get in there, folks. |

As long as it has some sort of curve, I wouldn't hold it against you....
I'm envisioning at least one entry with wine glasses in an s-curve and a bug on an s-shaped stick. I'm sure yours will be more original than those |

Too kind. I've hired bugs to carry wine glasses in an s-shaped path.
You thought unemployment in the states was bad. I can't fire these runts fast enough.
Disclaimer: I make fun of wine glasses and bugs because I don't have the talent or the lens. Or the imagination. |

The curve may be literal or implied.
I went with implied. I wonder how many DNMC's I'll get. |
