Photojournalism is to elicit an emotional response from the reader, without changing the content with false intent. Some of the most famous news photos of the past were manipulated quite a bit. so the false intent becomes the debate. It would be very interesting for all contest to include the source,, of course bracketed HDR shots get interesting.. it really is an IMAGE award,, with a photojournalist intent of eliciting an emotional response from the reader linking to a story. How well the image conveys the story, and builds up the story is the consideration.</blockquote>
