It was hardly cheating. He just hadn't read the rules properly. There was no deliberate intent to deceive.

I'm not a fan of lots of PP, I think a good photo shouldn't need tinkering with, but minor touch ups are fine, as long as the photo retains its original look and naturalism.

hardly cheating!! he digitally removed an object from the photo

so its ok by you to add/remove objects digitally and still call it a photograph? once you start doing that it becomes digital art, if your photographs an't good enough then cheat right?

it's cheating and he knew full well that he was cheating, he just didn't think he'd get caught

From the sounds of the initial post, I inferred that he had moved a plastic bag out of the scene before taking the shot - not removed it in PP'ing. I can see that being a no-no.

Yes, the OP was written VERY poorly.
