Disqualification Message:
You may not use distortions to create new effects or radically alter objects. In this case, the oil painting filter was just used to excess, producing a pronounced effect that was not present in the scene itself.

Disqualification Message:
You may not use ANY editing tool to create new image area, objects or features (such as lens flare or motion) that didn't already exist in your original capture. In this case, you took a blurred iris and "made it sharp" by drawing details with the dodge/burn tools: no such sharp details are visible in the original. Remember, there's no such thing as a "legal tool" in advanced editing, because we judge only the effects attained, not the tool used to attain them.
