    Read more carefully. He’d have been fine with a crop. DQ’d for digitally removing something that did not alter the substance of the photograph.

    He could have burned it into blackness or cropped it out, but using the clone tool was a hard and fast no-no.

    Damn, you’re right. The post is poorly written, he could use a good editor.

    Yeah, definitely a no-no. Sucks for him, but I’m glad he’s sharing his mistake with the world as an example.

    Best I can tell, he’s a Spaniard and English isn’t his native language, so maybe the confusion is from the translation? Anyway, yeah, I’m surprised a photographer of his caliber wouldn’t have known that manipulation of the photo was a big no-no for a contest, especially a NatGeo contest. Heck, our local state fair even disallows it.

    On another note, how cool would it be to go on one of his photo expeditions?

    Ouch…sucks to be him.

    But I got a kick out of the thread title 😉
