    I think it's because I started getting submissions on Monday, feels like it's later in the week already

    yeah definitely, and even given there isn't a massive amount of official source pictures all the entries are varied so far.

    i think i may have just accidentally stumbled on one of your methods GB, do you ever add quite a bit of noise to in image, enough to take over the picture, then apply topaz to it? i tried it on something before to see how it looked and it created a texture i'm sure i've seen in your work!

    shhhhhhhh!!

    (that's exactly what I do!!) ;)

    Haha, all joking aside I think it creates a really interesting effect, and it's something I stumbled across myself in my sig making. It looks WAY too sharp before you apply the filters, but then it all comes together nicely in the end!

    yeah, i've long been a fan of adding noise to an image to break it up a bit and give it a more realistic look. adding topaz to it was a natural progression, but it seems i wasn't the first!

    Exactly, the sharpness gives the picture more depth but then the Topaz filter smooths it out. It's a great combo!

    I don't wanna hold anything up but I won't be able to make anything for about an hour. It's be great if you didn't mind waiting, but it's understandable if you can't.
