I'd be interested to hear if indeed it is a cut and paste as Ian suggests.
If so, that's not a problem if that's what you want to do but I personally think it goes without saying that such a substantial amount of manipulation should be disclosed without a second thought, to maintain the integrity and high standard that we've come to expect on this forum,IMHO anyway.

This is obviously a C&P, and I 'm affraid not too well done to put on a forum like this. Once you start doing this it's the slippery road and every picture you do in the future will be put under the microscope.. Believe me - I,ve been there !
I'm even nervous about cloneing out a leaf or something these days.
Where does "manipulation " end ? Some will say that even adjusting levels etc is over the top manipulation. This can has been opened so many times.
To be honest I,ve seen plenty of cracking shots of yours -without this sort of thing.
Hope you take this in good spirit.
Everyone should be made to go backto using film !!
Cheers
John

Hi Paul,
I like your idea, but agree that the mods ought to be declared. The boundaries are impossible to draw any more and I firmly believe that image manipulation is here to stay.
I can't entirely agree with John R about film. I would have have to give up on cost grounds if I was restricted to film as I did once before; digital has let me back into the game.

What I really meant about film is that what you got was the end of it with no chance of alteration like there is today with digital. I agree about the cost and like you, digital let me get back in too.
Cheers

That's interesting, because I agree with you that film concentrated the mind wonderfully. If I miss anything it is the 'every shot must count' attitude that it encouraged. I try , but I don't find that so easy with digital and sometimes feel that I rattle shots off without taking enough care over them. You can't have it all I guess. Eric

I like this! as it is different! A little more care in Photoshop!
