Thanks for looking.

Hi Brandon!

I checked out your gallery and am a bit confused. None of the photos showed any evidence of use of filters. Are you asking for which photos might be worth enhancing in post production using one or more filters? Or did you use very subtle filters on each of these pix - in which case could you indicate what filter(s) you used?

Also, I think you will get a better response if you narrow down the field to 3 to 5 photos you like a lot and that you think might have potential for the wow factor. Have a vision in your head of what you want to do with the photos, give it a try then share the results with everyone. You might choose one from each catagory then give it your best shot.

Hope this helps. Good luck and have fun with the challenges.

Your gallery is wonderful!!

But for the purpose of the challenge the only series I found where a filter (polarizing) was obviously used was the series with the fish. You have many stronger compositions in your gallery than those with the fish.

Judges will be looking for photos where filter usage is obvious (either on-camera or post-processing or both): http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=100810

...and I'm not sure why the water marks are there, since I don't have that option checked in my gallery options.
