Re: Whalebone view
You don't, trust me!
We had a big falling out over it, I got very upset and things changed including the criteria for entering photos.
I edit most of my photos as I save them on my laptop, mostly lighting, contrasting and straightening. Now I have to sort through and find one not fiddled with or revert to original.
I don't have fancy equipment, very basic bridge camera, no telephoto lenses etc, which tends to take light photos, so it's difficult.
I did enjoy the competitions, but not so much now.
I tend to stick to photo threads which are ok to post edited photos on.
