You didn't have to give it up at all! you could have just placed it in your portfolio, or entered it in 1x (for free) or the site you gave a link to

The rule actually states: "clone out incidental power lines, twigs, dust specks, stray hairs, and similar minor imperfections within any capture used.", it is a bit hard to interpret that as allowing for
cloning in non existing objects. It is even harder to accept that such practice
should be encouraged despite the clearly written rule.

Now, you are a most talented photographer and have enjoyed great success in this site, including yet another ribbon last night. With that in mind, your attempt at justifying your violation of the rule sounds disingenuous. As to why you would attempt a defense and accuse the SC of being cruel is even more puzzling, do you REALLY think you did not create a wing tip and a strip of background that were not there? The analogy with Enzo's picture is not even close.
Please tell me you were joking and may regain respect for you.
