If you had a picture of a string, and used Photoshop or other software to manipulate/distort it into an unusual shape, would that be illegal if you were to submit it to a challenge?

I think it would most likely be DQ'd, since...

1.) The string is the major element (or so I assume)

2.) Portions of it have been moved significantly

But what if it is distorted by using a filter that applies to the entire image - like 'swirl', or 'motion' or something similar. I've not really used them so I'm not sure of the names, but I know they exist. One was used in the most recently completed challenge and the image was so distorted I had no idea what it was originally until I PM'd the photog to see what it was.

Whoops - It depends on the ruleset being applied:

Basic:

Filters: The use of filters (or non-Photoshop equivalent) is strictly limited. Any filter or stand-alone utility designed and used to preserve the integrity of the image and/or reduce the effects of noise, scratches, etc, are permitted. These include but are not limited to the Sharpen, Unsharp Mask, and Dust & Scratches filters, and standalone image cleanup utilities such as NeatImage. However, no effects filters may be applied to your image, with the exception of Noise and Gaussian Blur, which are allowed. Any filter permitted by this rule must be applied uniformly to the entire image. Selective application of any filter is prohibited.


Advanced:

Filters: At your discretion, you may apply filters to your photo, in whole or part. (Be aware that extensively altering the "look" of your photograph with an "effects" filter is often not well received by voters.)
