Excellent Low-Key Color. Few were able to pull this off well.

Best Low-Key Landscape in the set. Impressive. If the original scales up appropriately, you have something to frame .

This image really spoke to me. I was an oil painter for years - haven't done any recently. Love the image. Especially the shadow detail.

Simple and effective. Title is great, but I see - Game NOT Cancelled Due to Rain. Good job.

These silhouettes are absolutely wonderful. The two profile faces make the image - great capture of the moment.

Have you had a response yet?

I'm surprised you didn't ask about posterization. Posterization is generally be modeld as a (non-linear) filter, and posterization is commonly referred to as an effect (when the original comes from a denser color space). It is also a cost savings in printing but not in digital imaging.

Is that what you meant by converting between binary representations?

Now whether that is legal or not is debatable. I would interpret the rule to be yes, that is illegal as an 'effects filter' - but I do see some ambiguity.

Clearly gaussian blur, unsharp mask ('effect filter'), and all jpg conversion filters (generally not considered an effects filter), as well as Neat image (seems like an effect filter to me) are all legal filters in basic challenges.

Anyway, keep us posted.
