Perhaps an extra choice embedded within the random criteria could be for straight-out-of-camera shots as opposed to 'processed'??

I had thought about putting the extra option for "out of the camera" and "editing" but decided this would be too restrictive. If you send an image to a lab for printing, they may colour correct it so that would be manipulating the image. Edit as much as you like, if there is something you can do in photoshop etc. to improve colour, cropping then please do so as it's important to get result you are completely happy with.
