Re: Fortnightly Salon Competition #39 Creative Aspect

This shot is one from a series that gave me a great deal of pleasure as without the manipulation it was given the picture would have not had the same level of impact, detail or colour in it. The end result had possibly more creativity injected into it than the when the image was captured

I thought this salon would enable viewers to get their teeth into some mental exercising given the wide spectrum of choice! Maybe it was toooo wide a choice! Thank you to those who have entered & for those who haven't yet, c'mon people now....time is running out! It really isn't that difficult to come up with something! Even if it's like this for example!
Oh well, for some reason this setup is not giving me the attachment option to post an example......so, how about you letting me see your examples!

Okay, well I tend to be quite 'conventional' with my photos - I get a bit jumpy when it comes to anything a bit outside the norm, to be honest. However, on this occasion I was taking sunset photos and noticed the way the light was catching the sea - so I tried something a bit more abstract. I'm almost embarrassed to submit this, but I do like to enter every time, so here we go!

Cutting this one a bit fine, only just realised the ending time

TRAIN PARK.

I didn't know you could change your original entry in a salon. Has this always been one of the rules? This was a painting of a train

Having read rule (2) is states ... 2) One entry per user ID only please, which must be the personal work of the entrant.

Can someone please clarify whether or not it is permitted to change your mind after submitting an entry? Ot would be very helpful.

Thanks

I see no reason why not Gina.

From my point of view, as long as the final single picture is submitted before the end of the salon, then in my opinion it should be fine.

Does anyone else object to someone changing their mind within the timeframe?

Re: Fortnightly Salon Competition #39 Creative Aspect

I think it has been done before.

If the rules aren't clear, then I think it should be allowed on this occasion, but perhaps the rules should be made clearer for the future.

My personal view is that the curator of the currently running salon should decide whether or not a changed entry should be allowed. I say that because it's the curator of any given salon who might feel they're being bombarded with changed entries and that could make the judging more difficult and confusing.

If I were curating a salon I must admit I'd be reluctant to allow changes. I feel it's better to take your time over an entry rather than enter something very early on then change your picture at the last minute after you've seen all the other entries.

But as I said earlier ... the curator of any given salon should always have the last word as the curator's decision is final.

Re: Fortnightly Salon Competition #39 Creative Aspect

I really hadn't noticed that anyone had changed their entry! Normally I would think if the person actually asked the curator of the salon beforehand it would help some! As pointed out however, if you give one person the opportunity to do so, it sets a precedence! Could you imagine trying to judge a constantly changing salon if everybody entered felt like swapping their entry! Quite frankly, I think Ian should clarify this one as I would say, 'ya makes your decision & ya stick to it me hearty!'

Re: Fortnightly Salon Competition #39 Creative Aspect

Nice one Ash! As Australia is about 10 to 12 hours ahead of the UK, we are already pm of the 30th here, so I will close this salon on my return from work tomorrow afternoon if thats okay with the general membership! I will post the results shortly thereafter! Hopefully some more people will be able to squeeze in an entry by then!
