Are u kidding? I do that almost everytime! Most the time I pick the wrong one... So if I were you, i'd pick the other one that you don't like. It will be the right one...ha

Well... My wife likes it...

Good Luck to everyone in the Green Challenge.

It is the largest challenge I have ever been in - I don't let the numbers scare me. I just do it. :-)

I've been dealing with that all day today..
I dont think my entry is very good, but it's something.
The first one I did was, according to me, really good but then I read over the rules and I was breaking them, so I had to restart :(

I'm green .. went out shooting for a different challenge and wound up really green by accident :)

I swore I would not enter green. I tried to get what I wanted for unexpected find, but didn't get it and when I went out I said "No way will I enter green." Well, I am eating my words. It is a beautiful image, and I pray that you all will like it as well as I do. Got to be in the upper 40%. It is definitely refining my skills photographically as well as in post processing, at least as far as basic editing can go.

As to the image, well, I shot it tonight while I was taking a walk. So since I was not shooting for the challenge, just me, I wonder how well it actually will do.

Don't know how the voters will react, it's quite different, but...it's green alright.

I feel if you have something shot and turn it to green in hue/sat and try to pass it off as being green "from the beginning", you may get some DNMC. However, if you have something say...like the American Flag and hue the red stripes to geen and it is a GREAT PICTURE technically, then I think I would score it based on the merits of the shot and deduct no points for turning red to green.

Question - if you have an image that was not originally green and paly around with hue/sat and, voila. it ends up green - is that allowed? Acceptable?


Agree with kenskid. It needs to have a reason for the colour change beyone just meeting challenge. In the case of the stop sign it was juxtaposing the "green means go" with "stop means stop". If it were, say, for an orange challenge and changed to that, it would have no meaning. So yeah, it's allowed, but you have to think of whether it makes for a good photograph, not just a "meeting challenge" photograph.

I had a tough time deciding on an image for this challenge. Here are the ones that didn't make it, what do you think?



The one I ended up submitting went in a different direction. Too bad only one entry is allowed per challenge.

Take me on a small boat out to sea and I probably will turn green all by myself and then you can shoot me. (photographically I mean) LOL

Part two of my reply...the shot below got the Red Ribbon in the last green challenge. Unless this member painted that sign green, it looks like they used hue/sat.
