Point #1: Not over tweaked. Point #2: Doesn't violate the rules. Editing rules, and I quote:

"Any modification done inside the digital camera itself is considered acceptable for challenge submission."

"Post-shot Adjustments may be made to your image in a photo editing program, so long as the modification is applied to the whole image. This includes levels, conversion to black and white, hue/saturation, sizing/rotating, curves and cropping [...]."

The effect you see is solarization, done IN camera (and a surrealist technique). Shadows were red, so I adjusted the red level to turn it black and slightly adjusted green curves. All this is legal OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE BEEN DQ-ed!! So, essentially what I'm saying is you are wrong.

I'm not sure i know what to think of this shot. This looks like a wierd photoshop effect, which doesn't give much credibility to a surrealism challenge. sorry. 4

amazing. i'm just not sure whether this is not a completely different art style than surrealism.

more of use of an effect than just emotive from the photo itself, not for my taste
