Journalistic feel, up close and personal like a music magazine from the late 70s early 80s
No 3 captures this, when the subject is least expecting that

The world is full of fakes, from artists to authors to songwriters all plagiarising others work.
Even Picasso was not as original as one would think as he saw ideas from others and ran with them and it made him appear to be first in the concept.
It is about perception and when one connects with a photograph for a little longer than usual, then it is job done as far as i can see.
One can be faithful to what the camera produces as an image and very often that is more than enough but sometimes it can be even better with the help of PP friend
Just hope i can create a few that can hold the eye
Also ICM which can produce some mystical dreamy results are often combined with other layers from other scenes to produce an experience like art.
Yes i agree, no rules apply

At this stage, i personally think anything goes, including the introduction of skies that are Masked and a new one layered in. I mean Pro portrait photographers do it all the time with background removal.Mostly I meant images where colour and contrast are boosted too far or HDR is too liberally applied leading to a flat image with no contrast. Of course substituting skies or other elements I'd also count as fake.
It is after all the final photograph that counts, particularly if it adds a feeling, mood or artistic license so to speak.
What I really mean is, nobody is going to take a photograph of a sports event and then paint in the most spectacular golden sunset with starbursts galore as it simply wouldn't be believable, but maybe for a photograph that one had only one chance at and is likely never return to the magnificent scene ever again, then by all means at your disposal as long as it is in best possible taste
The tools at our disposal in todays world are very powerful and use them, to the best of ones ability and create

Lens in unmarked condition, all functions work as they should, have never had any problems with it at all and has served me well, simply the weight of the K1 with lens attached is to heavy for me. It is in truth a very fine camera that I wish I didn't have to part with, makes a fine ornament in my home office, however it needs to be used and not just looked at while wishing. Thanks for looking, if it doesn't go on the forum I will keep it. It will NOT go to Ebay.

No 5 looks exciting, never would care in what way it was produced or edited, just like it visually
Nice selection and opinions will differ

Number one Pschlute is the photo, controlling tower for the rebellious No 6 (Patrick McGoohan)

While i like number one, as in the struggle to surmount. No 2 has the mission accomplished and a stunning photo it has produced.
