Okay I've put in a ticket to SC 2 days ago with this question but haven't heard anything yet. For the Single tree challenge I am wondering if it would be okay to clone out a swing set and a picnic table.
Rules state:
You may: "clone out incidental power lines, twigs, dust specks, stray hairs, and similar minor imperfections within any capture used"
You may not: "use ANY editing tool to move, remove or duplicate any element of your photograph that would change a typical viewer̢۪s description of the photograph (aside from color or crop), even if the tool is otherwise legal, and regardless of whether you intended the change when the photograph was taken."
Since the challenge is about a single tree I would like to believe that the swing set is "incidental" too. Anyone have thoughts about this?

| Not a part of SC but I would guess that anything but a very small clone job is grounds for DQ. It sounds like these items are significant enough to be grounds for DQ. |

| Probably depends on the size of the swing and picnic table relative to the tree. If they are tiny compared to the tree and well away from the tree you might be OK, but if they are any larger than that it could be trouble. |

The general rule has been if the removal of the object(s) changes the description of the photo then it is not allowed.
If you look at the original and describe it as a" tree next to a picnic table" you're probably on dangerous ground.
When in doubt, I usually ask my 8 year old to describe the photo to me. Pretty good measure there.
You're best bet is to send before/after images to the SC and get their opinion. |
