OK, but I really do think it is important that the viewer is made aware.

And for my (hypothetical) CT's Photography Competition 2009 I'd
categorise entries thus:

1. Single frame, no post-processing.
2. Single frame, post-processing allowed.
2. Multiple frame (max. 3), post-processing allowed.
3. Open category - anything goes.
And maybe 4. Film :o)

There's no particular trick to it. It's just that if you make the light
bits darker and the dark bits lighter you have more bits available to
show details. It's a bit like the way NICAM compression works. The
camera won't do this by default because it looks so bloody odd.

I think that's problematic, in that if you don't allow any
post-processing the metering on modern cameras is so good that pretty
much anyone who is in the right place at the right time can take a
winning picture - where's the skill gone? where is the art?
