This is the one that deserves the blue as it is one of the few entries in this challenge that takes a different approach to the same old cow and bull pictures one always sees everywhere..

The reason being that I don't see any mention under standard editing of being allowed to use any feature of image processing software to manipulate/enhance the images in your submission. That is allowed under Extended editing though. If I misinterpreted the rules please enlighten me. I have submitted a similar image to the SC with this question. After some deliberations they allowed it. The rules are much more relaxed now and I personally am very much in favour. PS I am surprised that your vote was about the rules and not the image :(

Well then I really don't understand why the rules are there in the first place if they are not implemented. Might as well do away with the rules completely then imo.
My vote was not only based on the rules only thing....if it had been Extended Editing I would have voted a 7. In other words I deducted 4 points for the breaking of the rule. I wanted to deduct half of 7 but as you cannot vote half points I had. to decide on deducting a 3 or a 4.
