Just to add some levity, I took both sides of the Editing debate and took them to extremes. Here are 2 Top Ten lists with the results!
Top ten Comments a Photography Purist might enter:
10) That looks like it was cropped in Photoshop. Whatâs the matter, too lazy to take a few steps toward the Tiger?
9) Good DoF, Nice composition, absolutely great color⦠wait⦠Is that Dodged!?!?! Heresy!!!!
8) In MY day we took pride in our shallow DOF. Whatâs wrong with YOU? Did the WHOLE elephant need to be in focus?
7) If I see one more picture with Gaussian blurâ¦..
6) You know, whenever you use selective desaturization, God kills a puppyâ¦
5) You Burned this photo, now Burn in the hell of low scores!
4) No rose is that RED! You have defiled this photo with hue editing!
3) You cheated! When they disqualify you for resizing that image, Iâll be the first to post announcing it!
2) Yuck. You obviously converted to Black and white. Your camera is a Color camera. Do some work and dig up an old Black and White digital camera and use THAT next time!
And the #1 Comment a Photography Purist might enter :
â¦Thatâs not a Photo, You obviously downloaded it out of the Camera! No Ribbons for you!
Top 10 Excuses for accidentally entering Digital Art into a challenge:
10) Hey! The Unicorn was there when I took it!
9) Who says my girlfriend doesnât have a 72 Double-F bust?
8) Um, Yeah, there was a zebra in my parking lot last week.
7) Gimme a break, I thought âBurningâ meant inserting a Flames layer!
6) Are you SURE there wasnât a lavastorm in Hawaii on Friday?
5) This is how I see the world. Semi-visible demons and all. Itâs not my fault they donât show up on camera, so I have to add them in!
4) Yeah, thatâs my uncle Morty, he had his head surgically removed and placed on a bodybuilderâs body.
3) For the last time, that cartoon mouse sneaks into my studio at least 4 times a week. I had to hire that cartoon cat to catch him.
2) That Leprechaun just leaped into the scene, and he was too close to the center, the rule of thirds says I COULDNâT crop him out!
And the #1 excuse for submitting Digital Art into a challenge:
â¦labuda made me do it!
(Remember, Itâs just in fun, folks. And no offense meant, labuda. I love your shots. Even the âDigital Artâ)

You can laugh at one half, or the other, or both!
Anybody else have a Top 10 List they want to share? |

8. You spent $10,000 trying to Rogaine yourself into Chewbacca
7. You're continually stunned when the President makes major decisions without consulting Mark Hamill
6. Your favorite pickup line: "Would you like to handle my light saber?"
5. You keep referring to your lawn mower as "that crazy droid"
4. You spend most of your days trying to use "the Force" to open a can of pears
3. You once saw an eggplant that looked kind of like Darth Vader and almost had a heart attack

Top ten reasons why my photo should not be DQ'd
10. Ooops - Thought we were OFF daylight savings time.
9. I didn't think I stood a chance of coming in 3rd - so I deleted the RAW.
8. I thought cloning was OK as long as it was applied to the entire image.
7. The server would not let me download the original.
6. I was out of the country for 3 months.
5. My computer crashed and...
4. EXIF? I thought you said EXIT!
3. You mean there are two different types of editing?
2. I thought those editing rules were only for DSLRs - so us NON DSLRs would stand a chance.
And number 1:
1. My dog/cat/kid/spider ate the original file.
