Hard to say without seeing the rules of the competition. It must be very hard to write rules which actually specify precisely what is allowed and what is too much. If the rules do not ban something then it is allowed. On a personal level the amount of photoshopping is up to each photographer and what he is happy with but to be honest about what has been done. For instance deliberately trying to pass a captive animal off as true wildlife which has also been done in the past in major competitions.
