Re The Haiti photo: I agree – the photographer was well within his artistic rights to simply enhance the colour. The judges must have been old-school film freaks who hate digital. This is the 21st century.

The picture of the basketball players is not badly photoshopped. If you look closely, the “headless” player is just being caught at a weird angle. You can see part of his hair and ear implying that his head was falling to the side, out of range of the camera. It is poor photography and poor editing, not overly photoshopped. The other ones were pretty intense though.

Very interesting point, but I think at the end of the day the photographer was guilty of editorializing the photo. To change the saturation and contrast (along with other things I am sure) that much (as you call it, heavy handed) altered the overall feel and emotion of the scene. It no longer was capturing a scene of devastation but became a product of post production editing and special effects. The question remains, what is the line that can not be crossed? From what I understand, the photographer did not protest his disqualification which says alot as well.

Re: the Haiti photos, I side with the photographer. As far as I can see, he did not introduce any extraneous elements, only took the bloodless “original” photo and added contrast and saturation. A bit heavy-handed, maybe, but certainly not dishonest. I can’t believe that under the scorching Haitian sun, the original scene looked as bland as the base photograph rendered by the camera. Had he taken it in Kodachrome II (anybody remember it?) it probably would have looked as snappy as Christensen’s submitted picture.
