We are not taking the 'purist' view here. Your works are fine, and belong here.
We are simply stating that the use of 3D/2D, Photos, tubes, Poser stuff, etc. should NOT be the 'focus' in images posted to the FRactal gallery.
And further, post-processing was not the BIG issue either (as this has come up as well). There is no problem with post-processing, as long as you can tell that the image was composed based on fractal means.
Hmmm...an example....look at peapodgrrl's work (hope you don't mind my reference, Mindy :)).

I hope that helps :)
