In the interest of credibility, images that misrepresent the truth and model or staged set ups will not be permitted. Techniques that add to, relocate, replace any element of the original image, except by cropping will not be permitted. Techniques that enhance the presentation of the image, without changing the photojournalism content will be permitted. Removing trash or debris from the image is acceptable. However, there should be no obvious manipulation. All adjustments must appear natural.
