Re: Apparently, I need to dust off my camera and go shooting ...
That is a beautiful scene of a baby sitting in a Radio Flyer in the middle of a road staring at a fantastic sunset.
The problem is that this scene never happened. It was fabricated from several different shots taken at different times.
I never said you weren\'t a photographer. But that image is, IMO, not a photograph. Because in my view a photograph needs to at least approximately resemble what the photographer saw when the scene was taken. We all make adjustments to varying degrees, and naturally some manipulate images more than others. Arguments can be made in many different directions for certain images. But I think you\'ll find most people would put that on the \"digital art\" side of the fence. It\'s a very heavily edited composite. *shrug*
For someone as talented and successful as you are, you have a rather thin skin. You\'ve got a big fan club, so there\'s no need to get \"annoyed\" when some random person like me has a differing opinion. As you\'ve been told before -- many times! -- when you post in a public forum, you will get a variety of views, and you aren\'t going to agree with all of them. If you want to maintain the mystique of a composite image like that one, don\'t pull back the curtain to reveal the man behind it.
