Ignoring documentary and crime photography, for myself, I don't lay down a bogus line in the sand. I judge any image based on how it affects my mind. I don't give a hoot if it was created on a computer, in a camera with mfg designed processing algorithms, oil paint on canvas or crayons on a pogo stick. I'm just grateful my eyes still work to allow me to appreciate it or not. Many who thump their chests as purists ignore the fact that anything that modifies nature is manipulating the image. Flash, reflectors, colored gels, filters, backdrops, in camera style settings and so on. If I get a beautiful stuffed fox and stick it in my garden then photograph it, is that natural. Do whatever blows a draft up your shirt.

In my club, replacing, say the sky, is allowed under the pictorial category. However, the sky must be taken by the presenter. Every element must be taken by the presenter.

This topic refuses to die, it just keeps on gasping for breath.
Does an artist have a disclaimer under their paintings on changes and techniques they needed to finish their canvas?
As to competition, most well run competitions will spell out perimeters on using post. Some say that post is a separate entry. Some competitions spell out what can be submitted and what will not.
If nothing is mentioned all bets are off.
Are you a member of the club? if so, what is there stand on this issue? All clubs have their own rules concerning manipulating prints. If I am going to enter a competition, I check the rules with a fine tooth comb before I enter an image.
Personally, what ever I do to an image to enhance it is my business, and no one elses.

It depends. If the competition rules allow for such changes, then it is OK. If they do not then do not do it. If the rules are silent, then disclose the changes made.

I prefer what I captured in Camera. But that is me. If I were a graphic artist, I would change what I wanted to change but with my own work.


Which of these do you prefer?

You mean he wasn't talking about a fortified boundary that protects a troop position?
Who would have guessed?

I guess the clean BG, but I would seriously consider replacing the BG with something nicer.
