is it wrong for me to assume that these are edited photos?
Not at all. Most worthy photographs are.

Why would it be wrong, why would you assume and what difference would it make anyway?


The photos are pretty average, I would say straight off camera.. if these won, the entries must have been pretty average..
Art is completely subjective, but I think the winner has a pretty decent photograph there. I would have preferred the people to have been spaced out rather than overlapping, but that’s just my thought if I took the picture. Far and away from average anyway.

I like Flying Boys and The Empty Quarter, not that keen on Tower 11 - it looks like most photos at the beach during sunset.

Curious, what are these? Brightness/contrast and glares (like in the eyes) edits?
Correct. Burn and dodge.

It also looks almost exactly like my brother’s greyhound. Regardless, they’re both large, historically desert sighthounds and, to the point, with a normally thin habitus that doesn’t mean they’re starving to death, as was suggested here.
So Apple doesn't promote animal cruelty after all? It's now getting to be slim pickings coming up with a good Apple moan.
