I have received several comments about my picture for the challenge:
//www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=27795
about the adjustment for this challenge, and I accepted them, again I have to apologize for not including in my photo some street light or fireworks :). But I think that we have to analyze the pictures with an open mind, because the challenge proposal is a guide and there is no a small print saying the kind of things that don't meet the challenge. For the last challenge (Round) I was tempted to take a shot of a perfect circle on a white page, and I regret not doing this. Let´s open our mind.

| Don't feel bad about that photo I for one feel it met the challenge and although I am only one person I do believe you expressed yourself creatively. I liked that photo it was a breath of freshair after all the fireworks. |

I have to agree with the criticisms though... in what way was this entering into the spirit of 'A Night on the Town'?
Part of the fun(!) of entering the challenges is being creative with the challenge, and I don't think you really took the opportunity to come up with a creative angle of a night out. I am all for having an open mind, but it's about reading between the lines and keeping to the spirit of things without going off on your own tangent somewhere else completely. |

I know the feeling!
I have seen more comments that say they don't "see the relationship to round" than I ever immagined I would see. I should have taken a picture of a box of flat washers and then they wouldn't need to use any immagination at all. |

| anireno, i'm interested in the post processing you did and the effects it had on the shot.. Would it be possible to post the orignal un-processed version for comparison? |

Weirdly I was expecting loads of 'It's not round' comments but have received none! And I'm now suffering a strange sense of dissatisfaction. What's going on?
For some light relief try viewing my speed trap photo:

| I have recieved comments that one of my shots 'doesn't fit this challenge' and while I can see it would ALSO easily fit in another challenge, it ALSO fits the one it is in, I agree with setzler it is sure hard to be creative on this artistic site. |

The essence of the processing is to use a blurred negative layer copied from the original and the to use the Dodge mode in Gimp, I don´t remember the corresponding effect under Phtoshop. The original idea of this processing ( a tutorial on the web, but I´ve lost the url) was to enhance the light of the dark areas of a photo taken in a harsh light environment.
I don´t have a web page. Is there a fast way to post the original image to DPC web?. I am thinking about writting a tutorial with this steps but it is very simple. |

It's called being MISUNDERSTOOD and I have been saying that for months! |

about your processing, it sounds like it would be illegal for a DPC entry (from the rules:)
Layers: Only adjustment layers may be used, and the layer must be applied in normal mode. All other types of layers and all other blending methods (modes) are prohibited. Layers may not be used to apply a prohibited effect to an image.
now about the actual process.. i use soemthing similar, but i use "soft light" mode (of course i can do this on any DPC entry), it "brings back" black areas of an image..

This is a great photo, the colors and light are amazing. But to be honest for me this not represent "A Night on the Town", it is more a "A Town at Night" for me.... which is totaly diferent.
And like Refracted said, the processing would be illegal for a DPC entry considering the rules.
Anyway, I liked it and I reted it 7. |

Maybe this is an automated process similar to my process. What software do you use?. |

nothing anutomated.. i mean that i clone the layer, invert it, (like you do) and instead of burn mode, i use soft light.. but that gives a different effect altogether.. and both are illegal on DPC unfortunatly.. i've "saved" quite a few underexposed photos with this technique.
