I am wondering what the gentleman meant when he said that Matthew's photo had a "little bit of touching up." He says it in a way that almost implies that the rules of photography have been somewhow stretched. I have news for him. All photos taken under those conditions would require some editing to render the scene the way the human eye would see it. In fact, even an I-Phone would do considerable, automated processing of the raw image that perhaps many users are not aware of. I have a ton of photos from that day, and they all have the same sort of look that Matthew's image has. In my view, one of the reasons why Matthew's image probably did stand out in the crowd of submissions they received is because he did edit the image as any pro would, and many of the others likely did not not.
