Trying to get an undetstanding of what is acceptable. Any help would be appreciated.

If you used the Adobe Photoshop oil,paint filter to create this image, you should note that Adobe specifically states that they don't accept images with special effect filters:

Don’t: Use effect filters.

As a photo? Avoid filters. Realistic photos are required. (Realistic does not mean untouched, but the retouching must make it better while seeming total reality).

As an illustration? Needs to look more like an illustration and less like a photo with filters applied.

Thanks for the answer. 2 questions.

1 If I would have submitted as a Illustration do you think it would have been accepted?

2 See attached I submitted this Photoshopped image as a photo and it was accepted and there are filters applied to it so I'm a liitle confused is there a line to not cross over?

If moderators see that it is a photo, they will refuse it. Your second should also have been refused as it is obviously not a photo any more, but I'm uncertain if moderators are really riding on the point here.
