In this thread (ie. the one that this post is in), suggestions of types of photography, ideas/themes/words, etc, can be made, which we can choose from and make the focus point of the photo comp for that month. For example, January's could be for cityscapes, and February's could revolve around the word "love". The simple idea would be to take the main focus and present a photo that complements that focus. After 2 weeks of entries, we spend the next week voting, and the winner is announced at the end of the voting period. No prizes...just the sense of satisfaction that comes from knowing that people don't think your photography's crap.
Thoughts? Ideas on rules (for example, unless the main focus involved photo manipulation, entries are not to be Photoshopped or edited)?

I think themes are good, but there should be no rules against editing.
IMO, editing is all part of the art. Of course nothing can be added to the picture, like inserting something that wasnt there (I dont even know how to do that honestly!)
But editing things like color, sharpening, levels, curves, layers, etc are all part of the process.
