		| | Hi everyone! 
 I have read the challenge rules and it it says that you can't add text to your picture - However if the text is actually in the origional shot is it ok???
 
 Example: For one of the challenges I want to use some Police tape that has the words "Police line - do  not cross" printed on it, or use plain tape with a sign that says the same thing. It is a significant part of the photo - but not THE main focus. Is this ok, or do I need to use plain tape with no wording at all???
 
 Also what about photographing signs that have words on them.
 
 I don't want to get DQ'd - so any help would be welcome.
 
 Thanks in advance,
 
 Kat

		| | That would be fine it's when you add text in your postprocessing that would get you disqualified

		| | Sure, txt in the original shot is fine, just no adding of text in editing, watermarks or cute little hallmark sayings are out. |
