ok just looking for clarification, would a submission of a cropped section of a picture be considered removing part of the picture?

LKLD

I don't think that is the intent of the rule. It has more to do with "Photoshopping or Photochopping" a particular part or parts out of a photo. Cropping is considered, by many, to be a standard in photography. Many pros suggest or encourage this as a way to acheive a good photo. So cropping is ok...chopping isn't. Did that add any clarity w/o confusion?

drigo

some good stuff in here!

MWalsh9152

that was the way I interpreted it, I just wanted to make sure, instead of assuming

srika

yeah cropping is fine.
