This has been happening more frequently in this competition.The WPY is the
only major international competition that allows photographs using dead
bait (though not live bait), and are little more relaxed in their rules
than, say, the comparable Grant Windland Smith Awards in the USA. They also
like to award really funky wildlife images. Both these reasons put together
encourages photographers to bend and massage the rules a bit to achieve a
winning image, mainly by compositing. How they end up with a valid RAW
image, which must be submitted for scrutiny for the final round of judging,
in many cases is beyond me, though!

Cheers
