Contest Moderator: @buzzy-You are correct in quoting from the Rules and Guidelines and that rule is true for sources used to create your entry however the images we select for a contest source may at times be photoshopped or altered images. We do this to add variety to contest sources and give members an interesting subject that everyone will have the opportunity to manipulate in their own way. Since all entries will use the same image all members have an equal chance to use their own skills to create their entry. ( 5 years and 726 days ago )
