Hi, can you clarify what is meant by 'a small amount of post processing'. Thanks Joby
Hello Joby135 - we would really like to see very little post processing in the contest entries if possible. In other words, please try to keep them as natural as possible to the original photograph. Hope this helps you - let me know if you need more clarification.

Does it matter if one uploads images with one's watermark to the monthly contest?
Thank you kindly,
This is not a problem - thank you for asking! The only time it would be an "issue" if the watermark is so huge and distracts from the actual image you are entering. Hope this helps you! Thank you!
Here is my first entry. It's of the Titanic building in Belfast. This one of the 4 corners of the building which are modelled on the bow of the Titanic itself. Details:300mm, f/7.1 & 1/500. Only post production is a bit of colour tweaking in iPhoto.
