Congratulations to the winners!

With Lee and Patrick's move to Puerto Rico, the results for this episode of Critique the Community took a little longer to release. Now that they are in, do you think they rated these images fairly? Congratulations to our two winners, Ryan Rogowski, who submitted the highest community rated image, and to Brandon Farrell, who was the randomly selected entry to win a free Fstoppers tutorial. We will be in touch with both of you via your Fstoppers profiles to claim your prize. 

If you missed your chance to participate in this Critique, we invite you to submit your "Winter" themed images for our next episode

Rules & Prizes

Photoshop is so prevalent in the industry that the line between photography and digital art often blur. With the theme of this weeks' Critique, we hope to focus only on photography skills. 

Between now and January 7th, 2019 we invite you to submit up to two unedited images. In this case "unedited" refers to any picture that has not had any compositing, cloning, dodging, burning, warping, etc... Since some photographers prefer to shoot in raw, we are allowing images that have had color correction and tone curve adjustment. Obviously it will be impossible for us to tell for sure if you've stuck to these guidelines so we're trusting the community to be honest. We will be selecting to winners of a free Fstoppers tutorial. One will be based on the highest community rated image and the other will be chosen at random.

Once you've uploaded your pictures, we invite you to scroll through the rest of the submissions and give honest ratings of your own. The easiest way to do this is by using your keypad and number keys. For the sake of improvement, please leave encouraging, instructive comments if you notice how an image could be improved.

I found the critique interesting when Lee and Patrick discuss unedited photos by telling us that they needed editing.............not being snarky.......just hard to ignore the irony..........

Puerto Rico?

would a a stitched image be considered "edited" ?

Stitched as in "panorama" ? If just stitched and basic RAW adjustments done, I believe it counts just fine to be eligible in this contest.

I can't see a pano being a problem. Maybe message staff directly to check
