Hello @jhellenmjgr

I am answering to your reply because you have tagged me

from the beginning I saw that you have stated that you have only done the editing even though you never mentioned the name of the person who took the photo

That's why I asked the admin @axeman and never tagged you...I just wanted to know if that was allowed because I and probably many others may have known many famous photographers that we could post their photos just by raising the clarity a bit and claiming to have done the editing

Although I should let you know that professional photographers give credits to people who have done the editing on their photos, but in this case I didn't see Peter giving credit to someone for the editing

Anyway... I never blamed you because I saw that you mentioned in your post that the photo was taken by someone else and that was clearly stated

My final thought is that we have to be more careful in who we choose to be on the winners list, I don't expect us to check every entry especially in these competitions where there are so many entries but the last ten who get the prizes... I think that we have to double check them

Be well and have a nice day
