Firstly, may I state that this is not a personal criticism of anyone involved or participating in the forum.

I am making these suggestions after the reviewing the April genre challenge "Portraits" results and declaration of winners dated 30/04/08.

Suggestion 1.
In future challenges can we see, detailed in the image description, a declaration of any and all postwork involved in producing the final image? This will ensure that the "postwork to a minimum" rule is not being flaunted.  It will also show how true the final image is to the original image. Additionally, it will also give some insight to those who aspire to turning their photographs into something more special, on how to achieve it.

Suggestion 2.
Can we have voting counts double checked, by a second judge or co-ordinator to confirm the scoring.

How do the other forum members feel about these suggestions?  I know that this month's challenge (Photo Manipulation) some submissions may require the production of an essay to describe postwork activies if suggestion 1 were taken onboard!!!
