You are missing nothing.

This is going to be interesting for sure. I have viewed but not voting because I wanted to refamiliarize myself with the minimal editing rules and my understanding was straight from camera - only a broad (not adjustable) sharpen, rotation if necessary and a one time re-size, etc.

Resize is a very different thing from cropping though, no cropping allowed!

bummer, I will be disqua;ified then...

You can pull it - if you have not had a recent dq.

I was just thinking the same thing - there are some that are impressive, especially given the rules.

LOL....NO don't lower votes ! Some people are VERY creative at "fooling" us ! I could have EASILY done a border as the shot was taken ! It is not very hard !

I didjn't say I would lower votes...what I am saying is why should they not be DQéd if they have broken the rules?

Well since he admitted the mistake...it is a done deal now. It will be a DQ. Should have just rode it out ! Let's say he gets 50th place and doesn't get a DQ. IMO this kind of thing happens all the time !

The voting rules state that you should vote as if the photo is legal. However, you can click on the link if you suspect a rules violation. Do not adjust your vote. The SC will decide. Sometimes people suspect a rule has been violated and they are just plain wrong.

The will be if it is top 3. If not, then they may not be DQ'd unless someone requests a check.

Some of the photos are fantastic, too good for Minimal editing, we will see in due time who kept the rules.

I tell ya...I was very surprised how mine came out. Just a little extra work pre-shot. The hardest thing for me was keeping things from creeping into the edge !
