The most common miscategorization / Where do I submit?
The lines can get blurry when it comes to depicting a person (or several) in a photomanip, so there is no set list of detailed rules for this gallery and the people depicted in a piece.
For example a Surreal or Conceptual piece may contain people and vice versa, and sometimes it is up to you to decide where the content or the intention of your work lies. Do you want to put the emphasis on the surreal or conceptual aspect of it, or do you want the person itself to be the focus?


Using celebrity photos: A policy violation if you don't have the documents to back up that you have the (unlikely) permission to use the picture. Same goes for random non-stock 'nude modelling' sites.
I hope one day to browse this gallery and never see Tokio Hotel or Twilight. One can but dream...
Faires and other human fantasy creatures or settings: Photomanipulation > Fantasy.

Technical miscat examples:
Texture or any kind of editing/adjustments added to a stock photo: Digital Art > Miscellaneous > People
Texture/significant editing/adjustments, HDR, etc, (to that of darkroom techniques) added to a self taken photo: Photography > Digital Darkroom.
Extensive editing/adjustments to a self taken photo (beyond that of darkroom techniques): Digital Art > Miscellaneous > People.


As a ground rule, Photomanipulations are images that have been composed of two or more photographic elements to create something altogether different than the original photo.
