Hmmm, no post processing allowed... however after browsing through past years winners there is obvious manipulation ie HDR/dodge and burn etc.

Not so keen on the fact that Korean Air would then own my copyright.

I totally agree Richard. Why is it that contest promoters think that they can claim copyright for the "honor" of winning (some just for entering) a photo contest? Sadly because too many people do it. Folks, these guys wouldn't demand YOUR copyright if it wasn't VALUABLE. Keep it and protect it. Say "NO!" to rights grabbing contests and contracts.
