Did you use food mode 
THE ONLY consideration I would give is - how much of the out of focus components take away from identifying the waypoint is what it is says it is. Where it is etc. Is the out of focus component blurring the object/ identifying where it is, impacts the key photo guideline of âclear/sharp with good exposureâ.
I may accept this style of photo but only in conjunction with the whole nomination. Map, Title, Description, Supporting and Supporting Photo. And the out of focus has no impact in confirming where the POI is.
So to me Doctoring is a malicous attempt to create a fake nomination.. IE Abuse the process .
And in this day and age of AI - I would be removing anything that may risk my nomination and cause people to question it⌠That is the huge risk for this style of photo @TheJunster2two âŚ
And wow. Doctoring could mean so much these days. Gosh how many photos do we now see that someone take the photo runs AI on their photo. Removes stuff to clean the photo up and then use in their nomination - take the person out and the AI fills in that gapâŚ
Photo Guidelines state
A high-quality photo of a Wayspot is:
a) Of the actual permanent physical, tangible, identifiable object or placemarker for an area
b) Well composed - the Wayspot or placemarker is centered without too much foreground or background, or objects passing by in front
**c) Clear/sharp with good exposure (show off your photography skills!)**
And includes these two line items (which I think is where your questions comes from)) for Donât submit images that are of the following (they should be rejected):
Photos that are blurry, or under/over exposed
Obviously edited or doctored photos
I love the question. I love how it pushes us. I love working on the best type of photo to get it right. So yeah thanks for asking this..
