    The landscape photography entries presented for judging had to be photographic in origin (taken with a camera) but there were no limits on post-production. This means the participants were allowed to use HDR, tone mapping, cloning, composites, stitching, focus-stacking, etc. The only rule was that all post-production must've been the work of that particular photographer. They couldn't have someone else edit or work on their images.
