What I meant was I took the challenge to be using an image that you took then flipped to create the symmetry, not one that was created from several others then flipped. I went through most of the challenge entries during voting and yours in the only one that stood out to be an image that was "made" rather then photographed and flipped. Sure using expert was allowed, but by the way the descriptions is reading to me(and obviously others) is that the expert editing was used to avoid DQ for creating objects in the image that weren't there in advanced ruleset, not to make up an original using expert rules then crop and flip to create the image. |
I understand what you are saying and I agree. I also believe that if that was how it was meant to be then it should have been made an Advanced editing rule set and then an extra rule (yellow flag) applied to state the image is to be flipped once onto extra canvas to allow a symmetrical result. That would have made it easier for not only me but for many others to understand and follow accordingly.
In this particular case I thought about what type of image would look great put into a symmetrical result and this is what I came up with. I apologize if anyone feels I broke the spirit of the challenge. I did not intend for that happen....I fully believed that what I did was not only legal but within the spirit of the challenge. |
Don't apologize. You simply understood this differently, which is exactly what I suspected.
The blame for this falls far higher up than you. |

What? You mean you don't think Langdon is Hitler in disguise, and that we're not all secretly SS officers?

That was the rule I originally suggested, but not the one chosen for this challenge. While I was disappointed originally, photos like yours made expert look like a good choice. I still believe the few people who entered 'flip and blend' images were DNMC however. And even under advanced half a horse is easy to create by cropping.
