I just added a false colour Infrared. I am happy to be removed if this is too far beyond post processing rules.

Robert, as it was global I would think it would be in this challenges rules. There will probably be a relaxing of the PP rules after this challenge to make it easier to enter for all, and in recognition that dust spot, power pole cloning is more prevalent than when the challenges first started. With a panel judging, they are more able to pick something PP within an inch of its life.

The rules still disallow anything other then DSLRs right ? So film and point and shoots are still out of the question ? Just checking as my D200 is at home.

Craig, put an entry in, it will be valid, we will clarify these rules later but if you are not using MF or LF I would say you should be on equal footing with everyone else

How many entries did we get ? Hopefully the open theme provided few excuses for people to not get an entry in.
