Nov 09 Contest Discussion

Add your comments, questions or general discussion about the Contest entries here. This is also a great place to share your techniques or ask others about theirs.

Most members are eager to hear comments/suggestions about their entries, so please take the time to help each other out.

Re: Nov 09 Contest Discussion

The challange looks interesting, but joining another web site to get the image is not. Would you make the image available here at RetouchPro for those that do not want to join the other site?

Re: Nov 09 Contest Discussion

I vary my source images for the contests as much as I can. This is a good image site and is free to register, but with changes to their Terms of Use, I can't post the source here. I haven’t had any trouble with spam from it.

Many people have multiple email addresses and tend to designate one or two for surfing the web. If you are concerned about junk email, you could always go that route.

Also, I am always looking for web sites with free public domain images, so if you have some good ones, PM me.

Cheers,

~T

Re: Nov 09 Contest – Autumn Colors

I hate to be the judge...all entries thus far are exceptional! Three fluid masks?

joeven,

you may have missed this line in the contest rules:

This is NOT a photo art challenge. Keep your entry photo realistic.

Welp, I'll have to pass and wait another month.
Just don't want to join a website to make 1 download.
Too bad, because this one would have been fun!

Re: Nov 09 Contest Discussion

aartist,

I completely agree with Bigdawgz and CathyH. In addition to the RetouchPro contest downloads, I use stock.xchng for its wealth of free image sources.

Yep, I agree with the others..... Take the plunge... costs nothing, Just do it! I want to see your entry!!
use or get a different email address for protection from spam if you want, but the resource is invaluable..

I typed the word "sunset" in the search box and this is a screen shot of the first of 50 pages of excellent free pictures to choose from
