You know what, NO more questions on rules for now please! This is not a professional competition it is supposed to be FUN! Any problems that arise we can iron them out along the way. Can we please get on with enjoying it & posting entries? , Thank you

Well people would email them to you and you would post them.

But OK, it's your show. I may participate if it changes.

I think it's a legitimate point. TFS is very prone to popularity-based bias. I would definitely be concerned about the contest being unfair in that way.

Why not PM them to a mod who can then post them without user names instead?

That's if a mod doesn't mind anyway, might be a bit bothersome.

That's almost an understatement. This thread has already had at least one person declaring he'll be voting for the same person every time.

OK new rule. Everyone who wants to enter PM your photo to me and I will put it on anonymously. As I know who sent what I will not participate in the voting.

There are probably a lot more who would deliberately not vote for one particular person, every time. The voting for best pic would simply mirror a voting process in the realm of general politics, and will bring forth the winner and losers for all to admire and criticize, for reasons yet to be exposed....

I did notice that too! And on the front page right now is a person's thread about all of their pictures in their profile being rated as a 1 because someone doesn't like her. She's clearly attractive, so it's pretty obviously a bias against her and not a judgment of her pictures. The same thing happens to my pictures too (or at least I'd like to think I'm not a 2.3 out of 10, lol)

Yeah definitely not a 2.3.

You're at least a 3.5, easy.

I did consider minimal but how I can track that? I want to make this for everybody not just the people who are into photography. Some people may not know even minimal post production so it's not fair to have an unfair advantage. If it becomes a problem then rules can always be changed later on. I am just trying to do something fyn for EVERYONE.


With all due respect Johnny is correct. There are tons of free apps out there and surely everyone has used or presently uses one for their pictures. I for one use it on every shot I take and I have thousands invested in my camera gear. The very nature of digital photography demands some sort of adjustments even when a high end DSLR or even a P & S camera has numerous capabilities built in as Johnny so rightly pointed out. It's just the nature of the beast unfortunately.

As far as being able to " police it " that can be done but it simply isn't worth it for something like this because it would tale the fun out of it. So.... what would I suggest. Same as Johnny. Allow it with the stipulation that it be minimal and go on the honor system. The rest falls on the photographer.
