Surely there is a fine line to be drawn between ‘editing’ and composition including choosing the right aperture and shutter speed?
Yes, I agree. But where do you draw that line. Is it editing to select a longer shutter speed to enhance flowing water?Surely there is a fine line to be drawn between ‘editing’ and composition including choosing the right aperture and shutter speed?
No, I used a trained budgie.A "selfie" with a drone, Clive?
I think that it really depends on whether you are creating a picture just for displaying or you are trying to deceive someone.
For example; a black and white picture of a snow scene can be made great when you are giving it an iron blue tone; likewise an Autumn shot can be made exceptional with it a nice reddish brown autumn tone.
Also; if the shot was a landscape being spoilt by a plain blank white sky I don’t think there’s anything wrong with burning in a nice cloud effect during the printing process.
However; a shot of a fish that’s been taken as a record of its capture; or any other picture taken to record an event; shouldn’t be doctored as it is plainly a distorted and misleading photo and done to deceive others.
‘Removing’ something like a dog poo or ‘removing’ something else in the background which would give the location away could sometimes be forgiven e.g. when publishing the fishery location is strictly against your club rules and there’s something in the background that would obviously give the location away.

Behave! You are on a Rockies roadLike a power station or a pile of Kayaks maybe
Its a fake imo Ray. With a light source such as a flashgun, if you double the distance the illumination is a quarter. Those distant birds would be much darker than the nearest ones.It does look too good to be true. A few years ago a guy took a photo of some green parakeets in a local cemetery the guy used flash and normal opening in the same shot. The birds don’t really look natural but it’s a genuine photograph and gives an illusion of speed.
