i almost hope it gets dq'd based soley on the self-righteous tone of the description, felt like i had been lectured by some anal-retentive professor of architectural photography by the time i was done reading it....

Well, not a very good idea. I thought you had shot it from an airplane because I had never seen the poster. I'm sorry you'll get a DQ... I had been DQ'ed for muuuuuch less than this (just a blurry background)

Images that could be mistaken for real objects in the scene may also be included, but must not be so prominent that voters are basically judging a photo of a photo." After I manipulated the image it became un-recognisable from the original, because the TiltShift effect took over, the bridge becomes a model and looks too fake to look real.

erm....

"but must not be so prominent that voters are basically judging a photo of a photo"

applying a slight lens blur to someone else photo isnt really the ethos here not to mention the copyright infringement on the original image!!

wish i could remove my vote now

I loved this entry during voting but now I would question it also ... including existing works of art as part of your image is one thing, but as a whole your image is just a processed photo of a photo with no objects added by yourself to the set.. requiring no setup by you whatsoever.. sorry but i feel this is a major shoe-horned in entry now.. i do like the finished result, but you have just processed somebody elses work in my eyes.
