Here is what I think is an example of this rules question. I thought about entering this in the Garbage Challenge this week but went another direction when I wasn't sure whether it was eligible and how it would be recieved. It is a shot of brown beer and liquor bottles that I post processed into a negative. What do you think? "Saturday Night Memories"

I think you are really asking two questions:
Is it eligible : yes
How would it be received: probably badly around here, but there is no harm in trying.

| I really like the picture. It is different, stands out from the other trashy photos. Did that come out right? :) |

I have this strange hangup about photography. I like photos that look like photos. When in-camera and post processing do things like this, it changes the value of the image for me completely. I like to differentiate between digital photography and digital art. Certain post processing techniques, IMO, move an image out of the digital photography realm and into the world of digital art.
It's not that I don't like the image... it's that I don't like it as a photograph...

I did a sepia for the My Little Corner of the World Challenge. I think it scored fairly well, take a look at the comments I got and see if it is worth it to you...

Sepias and black and whites are not included in the post processing that I mentioned above... I should have clarified that...

But you don't count negatives as proper photos?
After all, that's the way a photo originally comes out when it's processed by film. Would you really count this as 'digital art' rather than a photo?
I do actually agree with you when it comes to modifying/processing the colours of a photo - to me, this IS art - but I just wanted to clear up the matter about simple negatives?

Wow. You concisely stated a distinction that I've had difficulty verbalizing. Mind if I borrow your phrasing?
