Who have you stolen these images from?? br br As ... (show quote)
It's sad that you are so ignorant of copyright law and art/photography practice, even though I have tried to explain it to you.
For those unsure of what is and is not doable in or with your photos: Copyright law PROTECTS my use of JoeJoe's photo. There is a huge difference between my modifying his photo in my personal expression (protected) or my copying it and selling or advertising it as mine (🚫 forbidden).
i fear that the narrowness of JoeJoe, or perhaps more accurately, his brazen broadening of even the "editing" rules here on UHH, coupled with the acquiescence of the powers that be, lessen respect for this generally helpful site among professionals.

My attempt a few days ago to gather responses as to whether or not my composite image "held together" compositionally and content-wise was taken down because JoeJoe appealed to ADMIN for yet another widening of the meaning of "edit" not acceptable in the professional world of copyright. Here is another composite, same questions:
Do you think the composition and the content "hold together" the elements of the composite? The title is important for the content part: "Notre Dame Fire--Legacy Sequence."

Wonderful use of lens, fine captures. A most enjoyable series--thanks.

I am awed by your skill in creating a content-focused piece with such attention to significant detail and with seamless lighting and scale. A real joy to look at. All the technique helps make it very moving emotionally.

This thread is like the impeachment hearings. A lot of bluster and repetition which at the end of the day means nothing. Everybody goes home with the same ideas they started with, all knowing they are correct.

What a shame, but fits the pattern. But, both sides can't be right.
Studies show that on most two-sided arguments, ca. 40-45% are tribally hooked into one side, and another 40-45% tribally unchangeable on the other. That leaves 10-20% open-minded and truly independent. Disciplining the self to seek unbiased truth is one of the great aims.
Today’s ‘Outrage Culture’ leaves no room for respect or thought. Or, as is attributed to Eleanor Roosevelt, "Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people."

It is kind of fun, if kicks are what is looked for, and I do share that aspect.
The overwhelming inability to understand, the overwhelming ability to hammer at something already settled, the sad avoidance of discussing topics important to serious photographers, while initiating hate speech--that stuff is not as fun to experience.
It seems most of the good members (open to discussion, interested in giving and receiving) just keep their heads down after having spoken once, or sometimes not at all. Understandable.

I have chosen to disagree with you, you have chosen to disagree with all others. Whatever your purpose, the result of your posts is a portrait of a person that not many would want to have a social drink with.
So, "all others" disagree with me. That is SO sloppy!
First of all, "all"? I think you mean the coterie that continue to gum up a potentially decent discussion that has moved from "all (including me)" AGREEING on the rules to something meaty about copyright, critique, and personal preference.
"Whatever my purpose"? It's only been stated many times. Not sure what your challenge is.
Finally, missing a social drink with those here who are hateful in their "virtue" does not seem to me a sacrifice at all.

What's with the bitterness and name calling? That's not a very mature reaction! 
If you want to propose a rule change you don't do it by first breaking it and then complaining about the consequences.
If you think so little of this group, why are you still here? Feel free to vote with your feet. You won't be missed.

You ARE fun. You have misfired on all three of your points, and you don't even know it.

Good idea! I'm on it, but it might take a while. Hey, maybe I could have 435 made, now that the Beanie Baby factory is idle, and have the Sergeant at Arms stuff one into a Representative's mouth whenever they start speaking.

If following the rules of an organization that I willingly joined and wanting to get along with fellow members makes me a wimp, then I confess to being a wimp. I joined with my eyes wide open and if after joining I found I disagree with the rules and/or polices I am as free to leave as I was free to join. Arguing with other members for what appears to be the sake of arguing is a juvenile tactic used to get a pat on the head. An “atta boy” if you will.
You and I are free to leave at any time. Obvious. Maybe you argue for the sake of arguing. That is not my purpose. Too bad you are unable to see that.
It's simply wimpy to not want to follow best standards, to live in a "safe" space and fear to discuss the rules.

Boys! I OBEY the rules, one they are explained, so stop being ignorant of the events.
YOU and this whole group should be upset that you look like wimps, afraid to follow professional standards. Why would you want a "safe," "attaboy, great work" place only? So needy. It's hard to pick out the ones who really want to be better photographers and learn from and give to them.
Why is that rule so sacrosanct that it cannot be reconsidered? Instead of hateful attacks, it might be better to have a healthy discussion.

I see as an indication that the person doing this is a photographic neophyte and doesn't yet understand. Its one thing if the poster asks for help in making changes to their image...doing it without permission is sort of like a graffiti artist defacing a wall.
You are quite wrong--except for here at UHH. It is STANDARD PRACTICE in the "real world" when discussing photos or art, whether in person or in books, to do what is here called "editing."
As a photographer, you might want to know your rights and the rights of others better.

Lighting, depth of field, the right moment--ya done good!

Powerful, near painful shot, with a composition that keeps the thousands of shapes under control (okay, your eye AND nature😊) and enough tonality and sharpening (or not) to give an expression.
