Hi James,

I do not believe that altering a photo in any way is deceitful or dishonest and I do agree with you that it is art. I just think that whenever such an image is shown, it should be noted immediately by the photographer that it is altered, that's all. In some cases it is obvious (e.g. Strad's picture) so I don't really need such a note but in others (e.g. yours) it is not.

Happy shooting,
Yakim.

Hi Jim,
I don't know what all the 'fuss' is about....bottom line is....this is one amazing capture, and a finalist for sure! As the owner of a rescued Black Beauty very much like the one in your image, (see my Gallery,) I may be a little prejudice but I think this is a stunning shot.

There's no rule at FM that says one must give away their secrets, or even that it's necessary to mention when an image has been given a 'Photoshop' tweak at all.

Photography is what it is, be it art or photojournalism, but in this forum, the only rules that apply are Fred's rules, and the deadlines. Let that suffice.
