This is cool but the post processing guidelines weird me out.

Too cold.

It would seem that you work for the company that is promoting this trip, lassocommunications. That's your email addy at another forum you posted this same message to. Not saying anything is amiss with the contest, mind you. All looks fair otherwise.

Can someone explain to me this guy's (Jason Edwards) hate of post processing?

Yeah. He's a photojournlist: integrity matters.

As I read it, ordinary image processing (color correction, levels and curves, minor cropping) is fine, but digital manipulation is not. Compositing, "creative" retouching, and extreme contrast/saturation adjustments fall into this category.

More nature and wildlife photographers are using these techniques to make their pictures more saleable. But it's an aesthetic that leads to a Michael Bay version of reality.

what gary said^

It's not a hate of post processing, it's more relevant to the genre of photography he shoots in. Check out some stuff on rueters to read more about their guidlines for pp
