Ok...I know I can clone out minor distractions, but what if I have to rotate my picture by a very small degree and do not want to crop it. Can I clone in the empty space with existing material (ie grass, sky, etc) that is already there?
here's the only rule that may apply:
"You may not use ANY editing technique to create new image area, objects or features (such as lens flare or motion) that didn’t already exist in your original capture(s)."

You absolutely cannot do this. You can't add image area to a picture, ever.
R.
ETA: try using the skew tool instead; it only "crops" 1 side of the image, the one you skew from. In other words, if your horizon is tilted a little to the right, skew UP on the upper right corner or DOWN on the lower left corner, and you'll just lose a little in the sky or the foreground, respectively, nothing to left or right.

and you missed the part of the rule that says ' May Not '

Bear, sorry but you are wrong here. In this photo that  idnic took, she cloned in some black background. She showed her original in a thread (cannot find it now). I asked SC about it and they said since the entire background was black and she was cloning in a black area, it was ok.

No, Bear is correct. Idnic cloned over some background that was outside the black backdrop, but within the image area captured. |

Ah, I misunderstood, you're right, it was within the image area.
