Nov 09 Contest Discussion

[T Paul]

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.

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?

[T Paul]

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,

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

[Kraellin]

joeven,

you may have missed this line in the contest rules:

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

[MiningArt]

What a wonderful show of fall the contest has become, really enjoying all the versions. Many exceptional entries, it will be hard picking just a few. :-))

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!

[Bigdawgz]

Thats a really good site many many good pics and such. I signed up for it and im pleased I did. Id say try it out only took like a minute or 2.

[CathyH]

aartist you should sign up for that site, we have had to down load from here for other contest too, and like bidawgz said it has lots of good stuff.

[Lorraine]

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

It was fun.
