Just had another look at the first two entries in the February Photo Competition. Both of which are very nice shots. Though each could be improved upon

Does this mean that the fun has now gone out of this and you lot are getting competitive??

I reckon over 40 entries this month!

Funnily enough - after all the discussion we had about post processing it I think it was the post processing I performed on my photo that made it appeal as "arty" - of course the post processing was done at a later time whilst sober...

I bet everyone with Photoshop has downloaded that filter package now. I have! Oh, and I bought Digital Photographer magazine as it had a CD-Rom photoshop tutorial on the front

Some more filters can be found here; some of them are less subtle than the ones from optikvervelabs, but I still find them quite good.

Someone else has previously reprted these, but just in case anyone missed them, some filters are available at;

A bit down the page,
