If the contest has rules that prohibit it, the photographer is bound
by the rules. For example, the National Geographic Photo Contest very
clearly and specifically outlaws cloning out something like a bit of
straw.

From that: "If you have digitally added or removed anything, please
don't submit the shot."

If the photographer doesn't read the rules, or doesn't follow them,
the photographer is in the wrong and the entry should be rejected.

I agree. The rules need to be read and adhered to. I was being a tad
hyperbolic in reaction to Rich’s post.
