		Hi,
 I was wondering if a photo made up from 4 exposures, each photo having a lightning on a different part of the sky (the same skyline, camera didn't move), so the result would be a skyline full of lightnings would be acceptable as advanced editing..This would be my first submission with a stack photo, and I am not too sure if it wouldn't be DQ..
 I am inclined to think so, but please confirm me..
 Thanks.

		| Dq.....for that to work you would need to hold shutter open one time......however ...I'd like to see your photo though. |

		Why would it be DQ?  You can combine up to 10 frames and use layer masks in Advanced.

		| because the lighting strikes in different frames in different spots. If there were no lightening it would be a different story. |

 exactly you can combine different exposures so long as nothing in the images changes, say for HDR. the was a challenge entry that was god example that got dq'd because one exposure had a swan or duck and the others didn't. |

 Then what is the point of allowing multiple frames if nothing can be changed between frames?

 As the rules state, you can combine identically-composed images to increase the dynamic range or the depth of field beyond what can be captured with a single exposure. The idea is be able to improve the technical quality without creating a new composition which didn't exist originally. |

 Perhaps the rules should be amended to note that because that is not clear at all from reading them.
 
 Edit:  Nevermind, I see where it says it now.
