    "Winning the 2012 National Geographic Photo Contest is a pretty incredible feeling. Being disqualified 72-hours later for a minor editing decision… that one doesn’t feel quite as good. But that’s what happened to photographer Harry Fisch who, for a few glorious days, was living every Travel Photographer’s dream — shortly followed by their worst nightmare."

    What a stupid thing to do and get disqualified for. Surely it was more difficult to photoshop it out rather than crop/burn the edges/area.

    Difficulty has nothing to do with it.

    Why did that photo win? It seems a bit cluttered to me, my eye is all over the place when looking at it. What do others think? Why did this initially win?

    I'm not saying it did, obviously he didn't read the rules but if he wanted to remove the bag imo there were easier ways to do it.
