Some of the winning photos look totally post processed and a lot of them do not relate to the theme at all (even abstractly). I don't understand how it is allowed to win.
(BTW, I am not whining because I know I don't have a chance to win with my mediocre skills even if they let me post process, but I just feel that if there are rules, everyone should abide by them, or else it defeats the purpose of the competition)
Did anyone else feel that way?
(There were some very nice shots though as winners, so this does not detract from them in anyway, just that some I felt really not that impressive)
