A: Entries must be a single image as captured by the camera, with adjustments limited to standard photo processing such as color and exposure adjustments and basic retouching such as spot removal or noise reduction.
Images must not be “composite images” that combine subjects or elements from different scenes—replacing a background or sky, for example.
