You voiced concern about burning and dodging (two perfectly acceptable adjustments) because having done so might make a photo ineligible for an award. Who are these prune-assed, self-righteous arbiters of reality? How creative can a working photographer be with the thought police looking over their shoulder to disqualify them for making perfectly innocent improvements in print quality. These people ought to belong to the mechanics union, not on the staff on magazines and on award committees.
