According to the challenge rules it states: Expert Editing places minimal restrictions on your post-processing. A full range of editing tools are allowed for touch-up and enhancement as well as for image modification. Please remember, however, that this is a photography contest. You are encouraged to keep your entries photographic in nature, and voters are encouraged to rate entries accordingly.
I have taken a shot using elaborate costumes, mirrors, lighting effects,
double exposures, and, through the grace of the expert rule set,
made it look as if it was taken minimally.
I wish I had realized sooner, I could have planned it a little better. Not much time today but I'll see what I can do. It is cool that it's expert, I just have to figure out a way to use it all classy like. ;)
Mine's in. It's almost advanced legal, actually, except it's not :-)
Mine is totally advanced legal. Nearly basic legal in fact.
But I'm more dignified-looking than you, you need expert editing to fix that. What are you THINKING, man? It's not too late to wallow in cloning/morphing/liquifying and make yourself into the man of your GF's dreams.
ok, so i retract my original gripe... Expert actually allowed me to take an interesting but so-so capture and give it some pop. i know people say it all the time, but i love it so it'll probably get panned...

I don't know that even expert editing would make that possible. Maybe I could photoshop myself doing all the chores at once.. Yeah. That'd do it. ;)
Besides, I've gone top ten with Advanced entries in an Expert challenge before. There's a bit of pride in that ya know. ;)
