SDMB Monthly Photo Competition - rolling discussion thread

It’s OK to post-process photos, but please remember that this is a photography competition and not a digital art one. It’s a fine line, but as guidance, if you’ve added significant elements to a picture that weren’t there when you took it, you’ve probably crossed the line into digital art. For the avoidance of doubt: cropping, adjusting white balance, exposure, saturation, contrast, fixing geometry, removing minor distractions etc. are all fine.

I am quoting TwoCarrot’s original guidelines (bolding mine) in reference to @beowulff’s entry into this month’s contest.

I support TwoCarrot’s rule and, as such, I do not think the composite image should qualify for entry, as significant digital manipulation was involved (melding several images into one).

I am interested in others’ opinions and will go with the majority.

And no offense to you, @beowulff. Your image is magnificent.

mmm
