If you're having trouble downloading the image, try rightclicking (or Cmd/Ctrl clicking) on the link and using "Save Target As".

Are we supposed to vote here?

What I thought to be the 'vote' thread seems to be closed....

The vote thread is currently closed and will open once the actual voting begins. Voting will run from 24 March to 31 March. Remember only those that enter the contest can vote for the winning image.

Is this strictly restoration and colorizing? OR are we allowed to 'artify' it? Add strokes, filters. My understanding is 'straight' rest. and color.
thanks

Still working out a few kinks as this is our first contest…

Just for clarification this particular contest is a Colorization contest and not a Photo Art contest. Your challenge is to clean up the photo and colorize it. If you feel your entry does not meet these guidelines please delete your entry and resubmit a new one.

Remember that the contest participants are the ones who will be voting on the best image.

My understanding was that we had to restore and colorize. I added layer upon layer for 5 hours to get my picture, its not perfect but i am new to this colorizing.

For further clarification by "cleaning up" the image, I mean restoring the image. Note, I am not trying to discourage people from entering...just trying to keep the entries within the same guidelines (hard to compare apples and oranges). Please bare with me as I work out the kinks.

I know there are some fabulous PhotoArt gurus on this site. I am sure in future contests you will get your chance to change an image into digital art!

Also don’t feel pressured to rush as you have until 5pm EST 23 March 2005 to submit your entry!

Sorry for any confusion I may have caused.

By "up to you" I really meant how detailed a retouching you planned to do. However, with all the emails I've been getting, I see that I may have caused some confusion and opened the door for too wide a variety of entries. But, hey it's only day 2 of the contest, plenty of time to resubmit.

Hopefully all is clear now... Restore and Colorize

Just remember that we plan to have all kinds of contests and all won't be colorizations.

In a thread Danny posted i added that new members could email me, please check your emails.

I do believe that the rules and guidelines should have been clearer.

Please be more patient, it's not like we have a lot of experience with running contests. T has volunteered her time, and this contest will require quite a bit of that. Do what you can to make things easier for her, not harder. She's doing a remarkable job considering the sloppy and vague guidelines I gave her.

What a great idea...and T...restore and colorize means restore and colorize ...I'm glad i got this email and hope I'll have time to compete. Hope you are all well..I've missed being more active here.

Here's to a great contest and more to come.

I think the contest is a fun idea. Hopefully, I'll have time to submit.
Also wanted to comment on the rules issue....I for one, am glad there's a little controversy, and the rules are being upheld. I have always felt that "artistic" interpretations had no place in this line of work. For personal use and fun, it's fine, but not if one ever plans to get serious work/jobs. There are quite a few members new to all this, and part of learning the techniqes is also learning what's expected and accepted. This contest could be the perfect vehicle for that.
