Good topic, Balance – Equilibrium - Poise - Steadiness – this can mean balance in nature, artistry, ying vs yang, architecture, people, animals,


What is so interesting is that what is in balance to one person, might not be to another.

Great topic, I'm thinking of entering this month.
I was just wondering what the policy is on Photoshop. Are we allowed to edit our photo? Although thinking about it now, from last months voting, I think some of them must have been photoshopped. But just for clarification could someone let me know?

Thanks.

I think it kind of depends on how much photoshopping you do. Adjusting colors, levels, contrast and some sharpening should be OK. Get heavy on the special effects and I think your chances of winning are going to drop. I could be wrong.

I think its totally up to you...but people wont vote for a picture what is practically just photoshop...but you can still submit it me thinks...

The trick might be to improve your ps skills to the point where people cant tell whats ps'ed and whats natural. :0)
