An interesting case for the terms of the debate, especially in the rules of the Danish competition.

They say you have to have “a truthful representation of whatever happened in front of the camera during exposure,” but even if you exposed the multi-coloured world in colour you can convert it to black and white. While Christensen was criticized for over-saturating his colours, he would have been in the clear had he simply, and completely, de-saturated them. The excessive addition of colour is a problem, but the total subtraction of colour is permitted. Is that clear?

I've written more extensively about this issue at http://www.david-campbell.org/2009/04/17/photographic-truth-and-photoshop/

Too bad

Probably would be an interesting discussion, but the images have already been removed.
