After a LONG hiatus from DPC, I'm finally going to be entering this weeks challange, Your Occupation, if I get a shot I like.

First off, I'm glad to see there is more variability with the image size, and that you can add borders :)

My question is, I'd like to use some diffuse lighting, to give my final image a soft (but not blurry) effect, like you're looking at the subject through a fogged piece of glass. Are there ways of doing this while still following the challange rules?

I've seen photos actually taken through an old piece of glass that look cool. I have a bunch of different colored sheer scarves that I picked up at the thrift store and have used in front of the lens. The off-white one softens the image without changing the color - especially when I double it over.
