I usually try to avoid postwork, but there are some instances where it is simply not possible to realize the vision of what you have in your head with only the program, The most postwork I've ever had to do in an image was smudging the obvious edges in the spheres used to create the volcanic cloud in my "destruction of paradise" image, and before that I had tried for months to come up with a way to do it that didn't involve postwork. But other than the smudging and some brightness/contrast adjustment the rest of the image is entirely 3d, so I'd have to disagree with putting it in the 2d gallery. There was a similar discussion just recently about using poser figures in Vue scenes as well and this sounds like the same thing. My feeling is that it's up to the artist to determine where it should be posted, you can't really draw a line in the sand and say "this goes here...this goes there". Oh, incidentally, most of the Vue hot 20 images have no post work in them at all so I'm not sure where you're coming from on that one.
