Hello all. As the person responsible for the mono/colour ferrari image used as an example earlier in this thread I thought I would express my views on photoediting and competitions.
Photoediting is an indespensible tool for creating a powerful and pleasing image. I'm obviously biased but I find the Ferrari image simple yet striking and it works well as my current desktop wallpaper.
Should this type of image be used in a photographic competition? I guess not - techniques like this can be used to add impact to a very ordinary shot which I suppose this one is. Apart from the obvious processing, the sky in the original shot was burnt out and had no detail - the clouds were added afterwards from another image.
The problem is where do you draw the line? I see nothing wrong with editing out small blemishes and making tonal/contrast adjustments but these in themselves can be carried out to extremes.
Personally I feel that if its a photographic competition then editing should be at a bare minimum.

don't edit your posts after I quoted them

Damn I was hoping you wouldn't notice I was being unloyal
But then I don't want to get banned
Oh wait I can't change it back because I forgot what it was in the first place

[rt13]

I think we should make a poll about photoediting in comps.
