You can obviously do that if you want (the rules just state what you have to 
provide, how you do that is up to you), it's just that declaring the area 
using the mouse isn't very precise. In any case, if speed isn't an issue, 
you can render an area big enough using the manual way and then crop out the 
area to get the detail part in an editing program. In fact that's what I'd 
do if I were participating (I'm doing a lot of detail views, and I always 
spend some time deciding on the exact area). Be sure to remember the pixel 
co-ordinates though, as these are required in the submission form.
