how digitally manipulated? dont get me wrong it looks good but photography is photography, art is art, this is a good "art" piece which could have been made from 2 or 3 bad photos... theres a fine line with photography and it balances somewhere between heavy & light manipulation....
I thought this image will do well, lovely.
And your going to love the head, well done.

Photography IS art and no matter what the photographer uses to express "THEIR ART" it's the final image that counts aswell as the viewers reaction too that image (yours included).
A pile of bricks is Art (or so they tell me) 
Anyway any image taken on a digital camera is digitally manipulated is it not?
I think this image, however it was put together, is a wonderful evocative one that tells a story and also sends a message, maybe this is what the photographer was trying to do? I think it it's the winner because it was the best image, simple as that, and deserved to be so, in my humble opinion, but hey, "BRICKS" may rule in this imagenary divide we call ART and Photography and you may well be right?

Art is just a universally recognised word that spans a vast amount of nonsense in most cases, photography is a specific form of representation, that is appealing to the individual that took the shot initially, i would not say that when i take a photo i look at it and say "thats a lovely piece of art" its not, its a photo... just like i am not an "artist", i am a "photographer"
How many times have you heard somebody look at a photo and they have said it "looks like" a piece of art? these "photographs" have usually been heavily manipulated...

A pile of bricks is just that, a pile of bricks, go to any building site in the world, they are very similar.. theres nothing arty about a pile of bricks until some idiot that has just left uni and doesnt want to lay them does the opposite and calls them "art"

There are levels of manipulation, we all do it to some extent, however, did those elephants walk across that plain without leaving any footrpint? they weigh a fair bit, and that sky is pretty dramatic, either the photographer sat there for months on end waiting for the elaphants to be in that position with the right lighting conditions or their very lucky.... again levels of manipulation...

They should have a "photography" section and an "art" section i.m.o and dependant on manipulation levels as to where they reside....
Well, its a wonderful image. In fact excellent. In fact it leaves us poor plebs, lumpen proletariats, no chance to win at all as we can't afford exotic places. I shall still try, but shall never be able to compete against those with money and those fit enough to travel. Moto - keep trying I supose
