I did not edit the photo. Here's the first definition of "edit" found in Google (Merriam-Webster) (
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/edit):
": to prepare (something written) to be published or used : to make changes, correct mistakes, etc., in (something written)
": to prepare (a film, recording, photo, etc.) to be seen or heard : to change, move, or remove parts of (a film, recording, photo, etc.)
": to be in charge of the publication of (something)"
I do not "change, move, or remove" anything. I ILLUSTRATE, as one finds in books on composition and in Art & Photography History books.
So, you seem to be out of order, and actually blocking learning. It appears you have done some service on UHH, and are much liked. Nice, but to "get along famously" as you request is not the goal of any good photographer, especially if someone dictates and does not have answers.
As you seem to not have answers to important photographic questions and instead attack people and twist English usage of "edit," I will most certainly not comment on your works, not just because of your defensiveness, but also because, in my experience the past few years, you avoid answering important questions about your work, and thus I and others learn nothing but to praise you.
