Charlie, I don't replace skies so I don't fudge the moon. If we shoot a wide angle scene we don't fix try to reverse the focal length back to 50mm(on a 35mm sensor) the way our eye saw it do we? I guess there is fudging that you can get away with and there is the obvious but it really just depends on who is holding the mouse. If they think it's ethical or don't care about it being somewhat of a real moment in time opposed to what was imagined, it just contibrutes to the whole problem of why digital photography isn't taken seriously.
I'm actually against digital manipulations. Perhaps I didn't express myself well- As I was enjoying your photograph it occurred to me that a wide angle shot that includes the moon is intrinsically distorted, with the moon getting smaller and smaller as the coverage gets wider and wider. If the intention of the photographer IS distortion- that's fine. But if a wide angle was used to incorporate more of a beautiful scene, is a smaller-than-real moon desireable?
I don't know- I meant only to raise the question.
