As explained by the maker it was not sent in as a news photograph but to serve as an editorial for an environmental magazine. It was the magazine that allowed it to be published in a news magazine........

So, can't blame the photographer really, unless he lied about the above story.

Well, the fact that he did not lay out the facts and tell the whole truth until he was discovered says something about him.

Half-truths sometimes do not make whole truths. It's a shame that he didn't refuse the award...he should have known his manipulated photograph does not qualify for the award.

Nevertheless, it is a great photograph (or "photographic composition", if there's such a term).
