    Art, as far as I know, is the human activity who's main purpose is creating aesthetics, and therefore it uses specific mothods of expression. I think that the question is: is this an art contest or something else?
    I wanted my pictures to be more artistic (more like a painting) and therefore I used some acdsee options. I think that is nothing wrong with making raw EB screenshots, is just that the edited ones are better usually (not because I say so, but because it's proven by this contest. Poeple like the edited ones better in general). Therefore I see no reason why someone would impose a rule against editing them. Not to mention that if there were a rule like that, from two equally beautiful screens, the contest would have been won by the guy with the better video card. So, I dare asking again, is this about art or pixels?

    I respect other people's opinion, but I don't have to share it. And I hope I gave enough arguments. Peace

    P.S I'm not a fan of heavy photo-shoppage either. I only like my pics to be a little more artistic than a raw image. Plus that I have an old video card.

    It is actually quite difficult to "properly" edit these screens, since there are so many soldiers on screen and hand-editing each of them would take tons of time. So usually the choice is either no editing at all or just filters.
    Occasionally i've been more thorough, but it's awfully time-consuming, as said.
    I have to agree that senseless editing can be harmful (like those obscene lens flares or pixellation effects), usually subtleness is best

    Shame the only reason I used one or two filters is because the orginal scene was so dusty, it was hard to see the soldiers
