Ok, I've been out, taken some Leicon (or was it Caneica?) plastic shots at Tatton and thought about this. I've decided, as in previous years cropping is allowed, but I would ask that participants stay within the spirit of the challenge and do not crop in such a way as to 'imitate' a different focal length than the one used. As Bill quite rightly said this is as much about being sociable and having fun as it is competative.

I think the view expressed byK.P. is valid, but I don't want to get into a situation where we are counting pixels to determine is someone has exceeded a preset cropping 'quota'. I'd also point out in fairness to the competitors that over cropping has not been an issue as far as I am aware in previous years. If the organisor of the next challenge feels differently, so be it.

I'd also point out that in two hours wandering around central Paris you are likely to take more than one roll of film or more than the permitted number of digitlal shots. I have no problem with that, just make sure that the image submitted it from the first roll. Again this is taken on trust.
