    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.
