Perhaps NSS just ought to ban enhanced photos in the competition. Or limit
enhanced photos to another category.
I believe that is already the case, isn't it (separate category)? From
http://www.caves.org/committee/salons/Slide.shtml:
CATEGORIES - Classification letters are:
A. Story Series (maximum of 20 slides, include a caption for each slide in the
series)
B. Scenes from Nature, including closeups and images, whether taken with single
or multiple flash or in natural light (each of these was a separate category in
the past)
C. Enhanced Surreal Imagery, including non-standard lighting, film
processing, gels, computer enhancement, unusual subjects for a cave setting
such as models in atypical attire; this is also the category for those images
that have been digitally manipulated.
D. Humor. Humor images are scored by the judges, but selected for show by the
Slide Salon Co-Chairmen. If you have a slide that may not be up to full
artistic standards, but is a crowd-pleaser for its humor, please consider
entering it
Note category C. It is certainly true that you can't believe something
these days just because you saw a picture of it!
