Below is an image I've altered using Photoshop. Dismissing that the photograph isn't that great to begin with, I think it's made at least somewhat better by my efforts shown on the left. (Disclaimer: I'm definitely not a Photoshop pro and everything I've learned is self-taught.) I'm of the opinion that my efforts may have actually gone too far. When does it stop becoming less about making the picture better and more about misrepresenting the subject? The weather was absolute crap that day and the picture I took was largely unimpressive. Am I cheating if my viewers don't know any different? Is it okay as long as I'm the only one that knows? Comments encouraged.
