| | | The tiff is 2Mb aceman.
Hmmm, the final entry has to be square (which the original isnt) and we're not allowed to crop it.... |

| | | This one looks like fun!
Aceman is right though - the dimensions are fairly small. All part of the challenge I suppose. |

| | There is a link on top: Retrieve uncompressed archival TIFF version (2 megabytes)
Something big enough to stay working on it for a while  |

The rules say we're not allowed to crop the image. Now the two interpretations of that I can come up with, says either, make the canvas larger to fill the required dimensions and completely cover the card with made up stuff OR, crop the image to leave just the photo and the two curved top corners of the card and cover those up - I'll probably go with the latter, easier option :p |

| | The other potential point of confusion, is the statement regarding final size: Final image must be exactly 750 pixels square
Mathematically, if one says something is 4 inches (or 4 meters, or 4 miles...) square, it means that one side times the other equals 4. So it could be 1x4 or 2x2 etc
In this case, obviously, 750 pixels square, means a square with sides of 750 pixels each. Quote: |

| | | For clarification....
* Remove all traces of the card backing but do not crop out any of the actual image
* Final image must be exactly 750 pixels square (750 pixels wide by 750 pixels high) |

Anybody notice that there aren't many "happy" people in this photo, except the mother of the bride over there on the left peek-a-booing everyone. LOL | Hi Swampy  ,
I believe the mother of the bride you're referring to, whose clothes you colored blue, was actually a statue. It's base was behind the potted plant. At first, I also thought she was one of the entourage, but there was something odd about the positioning of her body.
Anyway, my hats off to you for being the first one to submit an entry.  This is a difficult photo to color. Too many details. |
