"Baby Sitting    -  Brian Dowling<br /> Unfortunately I can't accept this image in a natural history competition due to the instances where parts of the image have been artificially blurred (in particular the material at the top of the penguin's wing on the right).<br /> In a natural history competition ""no elements may be moved, cloned, added, deleted, rearranged or combined. Any manipulation or modification to the original image must be limited to minor retouching of blemishes and must not alter the content of the original scene"" – this quote is taken from the PSNZ rules regarding natural history images.<br /> I feel you have gone beyond the boundaries of what is acceptable, which is a shame as overall I think the shot has potential. Also, be careful of your title – you want to use the scientific or common name of the subject. Not Accepted"
