Hi David,
I agree with you as in your explanation.
Cloning out the post is completely meaningless in relation to doing
something in changing the image of the "HEAD" as I said before. However, in
any event I'm closer to you in "PHOTOSHOP ABILITIES" and tend to just delete
the image or look for a cropping that still keeps the impact of the photo
captured.
George is quite correct regarding "cloning" and changing the meaning?
Certainly in a NEWS PHOTO! Or in selling products. Minor artsy fartsy things
in a so called "art photo?" I'd bet that's done far more than any of us
truly realize!
cheers,
ted

G'Mornin' Ted & George:
If I may enter your discussion as to whether to admit or not...
If the cloning were minor, and I were selling the image as "art", I'd
probably
not mention it. (Were it major - such as Ted's example of cloning a new head
on
a cowboy - I simply would not do it, ever. Of course, this moral high ground
is
helped by the fact that I do not have the skills to do such a thing!)
If the photo had "news" value, then I agree with George, it would have be
mentioned.
With rare exceptions, I like to keep any digital manipulation to the level
that
I could accomplish in a wet darkroom. Contrast, exposure, dodging & burning,
cropping, saturation adjustments, etc. For me, cloning out the OOF post is
quite a departure from my norm.
I've mentioned it here, for very different reasons.
As of today, we have 305 members on this list. Of these, perhaps 15 post
regularly and another 15 post occasionally. This leaves 275 who never post.
Yet
many, if not most, have been list members for years. (Our rate of "churn" is
very low.) These "lurkers" obviously hope to learn by viewing the images
and
reading the comments of others.
I believe that being open about what we do, and when, helps them learn.
Just my 2 cents worth....
