Aaron, a fine article!! Succint and valid! Great job. Your statement of \"what is nature and what is creation\" put it very well.
In my interjection of the word \"composition\", hindsight has both of you entirely correct. I didn\'t meant to suggest that a major manipulation of the image, was part of my dialog. As you state we now enter the realm of \"artistic liberties\"...and I believe has some validity in the definition of composition BUT....that liberty taken should be noted.
But personally I don\'t blame anyone for, as Brian sez, not thinking about \"the integrity\" in the final result. Again the major manipulation of a posted image should be noted and appreciated by viewers and personally a before and after posted also. He wanted to present his \"composition\" for all to admire. The keener eyes in the forum saw something amiss and pointed it out while still making a positive comment.
Again Craig..no disrespect meant at all in my response..never entered my mind in my reply. If it came across that way please dismiss it!And thanks Aaron for allowing me to see a part I may..well did..not invision when responding to Craig\'s comments!
This is what FM is all about...learning thru discussion and interaction on a friendly constructive way!!
Bravo!!
