*A word about edited and unedited.

EDITED: This means that you can manipulate the image to look however you like. You may use more than one image, as long as you have taken the shots in this semester, in the finished product. It can be as Photoshopped as much as you want!

UNEDITED: This means that you CAN'T!!! chance anything. No curves, No levels, No hue/saturation, nothing.You may crop only slightly to fit the 8x10 size. For example, do not crop out the center of your shot and enlarge it to an 8x10. The idea of an unedited shot is to see what you can get straight out of your camera!
