Rosette SHO Blend (Tyrel Smith)

Rosette SHO Blend

I'm leaving up lots of different versions as a reference for myself to see the effects slight changes in background level and contrast. Each one is only slightly different from the next, and progresses from least to most contrast, and highest to lowest background level.

Total integration time is approximate. This is a collection of 300s, 420s, and 900s frames.

Description: The original became hard to look at after a while. It looked harsh to me. Tried again with a softer touch, I hope.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
