Digital Manipulation

[Leocam]

Hi, my photo ID 11556424 was rejected for “Digital Manipulation”. I note that the JetPhotos guide includes a rejection category of “Manipulation” but not one of “Digital Manipulation”. However, for the purposes of my enquiry, I will assume they amount to one and the same.

When I was processing photo ID 11556424, I made some usual Lightroom adjustments to exposure, contrast and tones via the histogram etc. I also refined those tonal adjustments via the tone curve to enhance the overall contrast.

Is one of the Screeners able advise what I gave done wrong to warrant a “Digital Manipulation” rejection? To me that sounds like I have significantly altered the photo is a dishonest manner.

kind regards Dallas Presser

On your photo the nose gear is missing.

Well..sure. Want to explain what happened here?

..is certainly not all you did, right?

I've inadvertently used the dust removal tool in a place I didn't mean to before. Not sure if that's what happened here, but I can see how it happened. I can't imagine anyone would intentionally remove the nose gear and then upload the photo.

Yes indeed, my mistake. When removing dust spots, I mistook the nose wheel as dust spot. Thanks for the advice.

That's gotta be the funniest excuse (especially if true) that I've ever heard
