Are these allowed?

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Can I ask if you have two individual threads for the one pic?

Not sure what you mean by "threads". I had the background shot (one of many) and then basically (and painstakingly) used magic wand in elements to copy plane. Normally I would rotate or twist the plane to some degree but in this case the aircraft approach and angle of the beach lined up well.

There is a major structural element missing in the plane, no one seems to have spotted it as yet!

Thanks for the comment,

Max

Ozimax, do you mean for the next challenge? If that is the question, I would say this definitely exceeds "sharpening and adjusting levels" though MHD should have the final say. Very nice image.

Okay, an example of a thread is this topic you're posting under here "Are these allowed?" where you post something and everyone else posts under that heading in relation to that topic... that's a thread. We have many threads on this board, as you can well imagine.

But from the looks of it, with your "MK II" thread based on the same name, you posted the image in two threads which was unnecessary, in my opinion.
You can post more than one image in a thread, hence why I asked and have now locked your "MK II" thread.

You'll have to pardon my ignorance as I am a newish member here, but I didn't know there was such a thing as a challenge! :-)

I will have to see what the rules are before entering a photo. Are there categories for heavily manipulated stuff? Having said that, most of my stuff is plain old photos, but mucking around in PS is a lot of fun.

If you combined two images, it does exceed the guidelines.

Of course this type of manipulation is OK (not for challenge) in fact I have posted pics on this forum that don’t basically exist - just as yours doesn’t - nice comp by the way

Sorry Ozimax, there have been a few questions floating around a"such as are these allowed for the comp" etc. I misunderstood. In case you are interested here is the challenge details with some nice prizes.

G'day,

Looks like a hair raising approach... There are even worse approaches than this though in the real world! Check:
