Stills FAQ, 1.1.20:

Q: Can I enter an image that is a composite of two or more views of the
same scene, perhaps from different angles? That is, can I submit the
larger image, with a "detail" panel in it?    

A: Yes. Although this is, strictly speaking, post-processing, it does
not affect the actual pixels of the image. Just make sure that it's
obvious what you did and why, and perhaps note in your text what is
going on.

  For what I can see on the image, the persons do not seem added over
the rendered image, but used as thin figures on the scene. This is a
technique used widely on architecture renders. Look at the shadows and
the borders of the figures, they are perfectly integrated. Even the
reflection is right on terms of perspective!

Stuills FAQ, 1.1.14:

Q: Is it legal to resize my image after it is rendered?    
A: Yes, it is. Be careful doing it, though--unless done correctly,
resizing can often add unwanted visual artifacts to an image.

Note: I know this one is outdated because today resizing techniques on
the average program are much better, but it is on the FAQ, so it is a
sort of "approved" behavior until revised by the admins.

P.S.: As always, I prefer the way "let's the judges decide".
