Here is my original:
Variations:
   
I wanted to enter the first variation, but I was afraid I had changed too many pixels. All of these were done using hue/sat; curves, contrast. Other tools used: invert, gradient map, auto levels. A couple were flipped. Except for selecting the background and using curves and lightness to make it black, all tools were used on the whole image. Would any of these have passed a DQ scrutiny? (I wanted to check first before entering, but it was Sunday by the time I got nervous, so I shot something else) |

| Not sure about legal, but I like the last one. When you put them all together like that with your post, it really resembles a big can of worms. ;-) |

I too like the last one.
I believe it is possibly legal. Specifically if you are just changing the saturation and hue.
I did in my pic  and was disappointed because of a dim view being taken in general to highly modified images.
Shouldn't be DQ'd by my estimation of the old rules. Dunno about the new ones. |

| Everything I used was legal, I just worried about too much of the detail being gone. Is this removing a major element even though no cloning was used? |

seems as if these alterations would all be legal in basic editing if I have understood your steps correctly and all effects were applied to the entire image. :)

I think the only reason this would suffer is not from a legality point of view, but just the whole idea of digital art. Using the effects you listed to enchance colours and shadows in one thing, but changing colours, while legal, isn't liked by the majority of voters, myself included. I would have found the image you posted more interesting with carefully positioned lighting to enhance shadows. Like the subject matter tho! :-)
[ edit ] On second looking at the variations, I agree with what you said that it doesn't look enough like a photo. You can't really make out what it is! Which actually, is the point of abstract, but I think this effect is created better by an interesting angle more than changing colours! Hope all this helps! :-)
