Anything using Digital Image manipulation software to convert the graphic into Black and White is not allowed - so i believe. That would make it more of a Digital Art entry.

By all means, correct me if i am wrong.

No, just as long as the image is as it was when it was taken by the camera. The only times you should use Photoshop (or whatever) would be to create a border around the graphic or to put a copyright note (watermark etc etc) onto the graphic.

Technicaly, converting to B&W or greyscale is adjusting the levels.

Correct. You can use the b&w/sepia function of the camera and you can adjust for greyscale if the photo is color. Hard to find black and white film anymore anyways.

Though most digital cameras already have a black & white function on them.

Spiders with venom potent enough to kill somthing 1500 times bigger than themself, are kinda scary.

So are the ones that cause cellular deterioration (as in your skin & flesh, not your cellphone to any of you numbskulls reading this)

Is that a ceiling psuedofy ?

I do believe I've been over that bridge before. Looks quite familiar. Nice shot.

Out of curiosity flavah, how did you get that image? I am not implying you are breaking the rules, i just want to know what sort of levels you can go to define an image as black and white. That would appear to have been photographed in black and white, either that or it was amended.

I'm lost here. Help me out :oops:
