   Nope, didn't notice any post-editing until I looked at the comparison shots--a sign of a great post-editing job.

   The only one I was able to guess without the spoiler was the top of the wall pillar.

      Thanks shmooz. I admit there wasn't anything too drastic; you'd have to know what was supposed to be there to really know what was edited...which is kind of the point I'm trying to make.

   Thanks for the comparison. To be honest I'm fine with your original image but your editing definitely improved the image especially the eyes.
   I really don't care but I can easily understand legitimate concerns about images in this event becoming a who is the best photoshop master contest.

      Thanks gurley. I too understand the concern, but the more I do this the more I feel that what we're doing is making art, and post-editing is just another facet of this art form.
