Sounds like you added focus to the hole only, not allowed, Selective editing is against the rules.Any editing you do have to be applied to the whole picture.

Actually, all I did was crop it and using the macro setting focused on the hole. I was trying to defocus the background. Except for desaturation and crop, no post editing has been done.

Thanks for your explanation, I misunderstood your original comment.

It's all good. You can actually manipulate the defocus by focusing something close up and then setting to manual focus and it will stick. Useful little trick using a professional camera, especially for setting a rule of thirds.
