I wouldn't think so . . . the rule set restricts processing, not set-up. |

That's absolutely acceptable, and an excellent idea as well, if shaped bokeh is what your heart desires :-) |

I don't mind and do think this is a particularly good challenge for the rule set. If only I could get rid of the sensor dust spot that has plagued me since I got the camera!! |
that is a real problem maybe it is a faulty sensor

Considering the challenge title you should take the shot with a fast lens wide open, so sensor spots won't be a problem :) |

You can ask forum to help you choose the photograph, I believe you have taken the photograph in JPEG format and if not then you cannot submit for this challenge.

since I'm still new to the PsCC I want to make sure that my sharpen application is the "right" one...
Is it just Sharpen? Not Camera Shake, Sharpen More, Sharpen Edges, Smart Sharpen or USM?
I don't want to screw this up. |

I believe you can use Sharpness and USM either or both in post processing. |

sharpen only but can be applied multiple times overdoing it looks bad though...
sharpen your entry using your editing software's sharpenĂ‚ť or equivalent option. The use of customizable sharpening tools, such as Unsharp Mask, is not allowed.
rules...

| I'm in. Minimal is so challenging, I really enjoy the challenge. It makes me think more before pushing the shutter release. It also makes me do more test shots. Probably won't score well but I'm okay with that. |
