I've always wondered about the limitations on processing for contests. I have an anything goes attitude when it comes to art and like pushing the envelope on creative processing.

Here are 3 examples of 1 digital photo. So what would be allowed in this contest?

This one is straight out of the camera, just using auto correct and some contrast adjustment.

This one has a texture added along with some filter adjustments.

This one has color filters added.

Are the latter 2 images that can be reproduced in a darkroom? I really have no idea since I haven't been in a darkroom in decades and never did color processing.
