When voting, how do you know that the submitter didn't actually airbrush a shadow on to a wall and then set up the shot and take a picture? It's easy if you look at the photograph... look at the photograph... look at the photograph :) It's not hard to do :) Yup.. the photographer could have done this, but not in this photograph :)

Comment by glimpses:
excellent idea, good shot and not very appropriate use of the software tools IMHO.

I am not surprised that it won, in fact, it could still be the best of the lot.

Also, it was a 24hr competition and the original idea would have probably required a longer time to be produced properly.

But to keep saying that is a remarkable use of PS doesn't help the site, the commenters nor the author that, I am sure, is brilliant enough to have understood Setzler (lonely) critics by now.

There is a lot of talk about positive criticism and learning processes.
What about the practice?

I can see the debate and the different sides, but probably best left discussed on a thread. This is still the first place winner, perhaps questioning the photographer's intention/integrity is taking away from the photo and his win. Great job, Beagleboy, I'd imagine your portfolio is genius :-)
