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.

This is truly exquisite. And I'm not usually a huge fan of flower photos, but this is true art. I'm not voting because I never vote on challenges I'm in, but I just had to comment on how excellent this is!
