And just like that, week 18 is over. Time is flying by! I can't believe it's September already. Week 18 was a different one, it was the first week where the photo wasn't necessarily strong amongst the group. Many of you disliked the separation between the subject and the background... This was especially hard to deal with as I'm the individual who took the photograph, but instead of backing down I owned up to the mistake and sought help.

That's what I want you all to do... Seek help. Someone commented that the goal was to win and while I'm as competitive as the next guy I think the true goal is to grow. So moving forward I want everyone to do what I did. Ask for help, if you can't get one aspect of the photo right then see if the next guy can. This hub was built to give us resources, not awards or trophies. Every photo in the challenge isn't going to be technically right, so we need to overcome all obstacles.

If you haven't already, then be sure to join the Facebook Group. Tomorrow RPC #19 will be launched and we have a special photo from Bryan Minear that contains a RAW file from the Fujifilm X-T2 system!
