disqualified!
This made me smile and will no doubt prompt huge debate across the interweb...
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/ukne...oshopping.html Exactly the same situation might have arisen if the author of the 'image' was a skilled darkroom worker and had achieved a similar effect without a computer. It is refreshing to hear about a competition where over-manipulation is frowned upon. If only the judges of FIAP and BPE 'salons' would do the same sometimes. Les |

The sad part about this is the fact it was left to third parties on the internet to uncover the manipulation, the judging panel was oblivious to it.
The whole episode doesn't reflect well on that particular competition or the state of modern photography in general. The silver lining is that enough people care about it enough to make something happen. |

It would be very interesting to see the original un-manipulated image to compare the disqualified entry to.

I wonder if the rules of entry mentioned the limit of PS that could be used?

They should get the shortlisted people into a proper darkroom and say:
"Go on then. Show us what you can do!" I would pay money to see that . . On a more serious theme though, there is something so fake and just downright incorrect about a huge amount of the landscapes I see these days that I have virtually given up looking at them. To knock them into a cocked hat, I discovered a copy of Minor White's monograph on holiday (didn't buy it . . . £100!) and I found myself moved yet again by the exquisitly crafted black and white print (albeit in book form).

they are all at it. What's laughable is that the judges can't see it. Others can.

Several years ago it was PS over manipulation and multiple toning effects that prompted the FIAP to redefine what is a monochrome image in there salon rules. This rendered duo toned lith work almost ineligible in the mono category. A couple of years ago I had four lith prints rejected from a salon for just this very reason, although I was given the chance to re-enter them as colour prints, I declined and had my prints returned.

Here's a link to Tim Parkin's blog http://www.timparkin.co.uk/2012/10/l...of-the-year-2/ which dissects some of the images. What I'm following with interest is, what are they going to do with all the books they have had printed?!
