I've always observed a self-imposed rule of shooting for the mandate
and not submitting an old image that happens to fit the mandate.
That's my personal rule because I think it's more of a challenge.

I have used the Photoshop filters on some of my shots, though. All
except the "Fireworks?" one were done before the mandate was
announced.

My submissions used blown digicam bayer filter exposures looking into a
setting sun, darkened about 2-1/2 stops in lightroom from raw to recover
whatever remained. The second is the Coit Tower, SF, a cylindrical tower
burned off to a point by the sun. I don't know if that horizontal split
is a sensor/shutter artifact or a cloud layer but I suspect the sensor.

Guilty as charged. I just haven't had any opportunities to get out and shoot
over the last several weeks.

Next one should be better since I've got some travel ahead.

I didn't mean that others should do as I do. I'm retired. I can take
the time. The ideas are what is difficult.

Can you confirm the submission address? I made a submission but it is not
there.

Tim Conway - old - (sun and hay bales) Nice composition, The hazy
look works for me.

Bret Douglas - blue - This is an example where technique distracts and
dominates. All I can think of is "How did he do that?". It's a great
demonstration of whatever technique was used, but the end impression
is that its an exercise in special effects and not photography.

SavageDuck - Red Sky - Great image. I'm torn on the cropping, though.
Should the fence be in or out? I think I'd take it out because any
element of a composition that competes with the overall composition is
a distraction. Nicely framed, too.

Alan Browne - (filters) - Precise and pure, but too sterile.

On the others...If post-processing filters are to be used, a light
touch is usually better than a heavy application. The photo itself
has to come through.
