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

Calling somebody you don't know on a situation you don't seem to understand a cheater makes you look bad, not him. As does trashing HCB for that matter. Cheating requires an intent to deceive. And since he's the one that sent in the original JPG file that contained the trash bag, he clearly wasn't trying to hide his removal of it. He just didn't know all the rules. Ignorance isn't cheating. Hell, he didn't have a RAW file as he was shooting JPG only, so if he wanted to try and cheat, he could have tried to send a supposedly "original JPG" that had the bag removed. He didn't. He sent it with the bag.

he removed an object out of the photo and added something in its place, the photo isn't real anymore, its not a photograph any longer.

I didn't trash HCB and have no idea why you added him to the conversation, oh I see you don't have an argument regarding the original topic so you figured you throw one in.

if you think that he could have sent in a doctored Jpeg and claimed it to be the original then you have no clue at all.
