I like the raw idea :)

What do you mean by "purified"?

I mean photoshop and other touch ups... none of that, get the shot right with the camera.

Β  Β· Β 8 years agoΒ 

I think what @taskmanager meant was raw as in straight out of camera: no post processing at all. "Purified" wasn't really necessary.

My apologies for that mistake. The link goes to your submission but I pasted the wrong name. I will send your prize when I have access to my wallet and I've edited the credit. Sorry again for the mistake.

Ok, no problem, sorry for exaggerated reaction, but in the day I saw it, got my nerves.

A 'New Beginnings' theme would tie in nicely with the new year (:
