The answer is "maybe." A new feature is something that someone looking at the shot might mention by name, like "that circle of light" or "that odd-shaped shadow." So if you create something like a lens flare, beam of light, shadow, etc. that was not originally in the shot, your entry would be disqualified under Advanced.
You *can* selectively change the color of objects, you can for instance dodge and burn, or add a texture overlay or soft focus effect, unless by doing so you "create a feature" and you can apply pretty much any other effects filter, again unless it's use "creates a feature." Also, a word of caution on blurring; adding a motion blur where none was present is considered adding a feature, because it adds the perception of motion where none existed.
I hope I clarified more than confused!
