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
I'm saying, if you read his blog post (which it sounds like you haven't), it's incredibly obvious the intent to deceive was not there. Clearly had he read the rules properly he wouldn't have submitted the version with the bag removed.
And in a separate point, it's a far cry from some subtle, natural looking touch ups that don't in anyway change the feel or nature of a photo or its story, to that of digital art.
oh yeah, the blog he wrote after being caught, no I've not read it and why would I waste my time reading a cheaters lame excuse, fact is that if the idiot does know that difference between photography and digital art then he shouldn't be entering photography competitions.
so I guess he's a cheat and a liar
Right. So you're one of those people who make their mind up about things without having any information to hand but preconception. Well give yourself a round of applause. I'm guessing you're the kind of person who complains about controverial films or books without having seen or read them too. Congratulations on your ignorance.
