Doh! Just reviewing my shot for the comp and it's got dust spots in it, that'll teach me to rush into uploading an image before proofing it!

No one tell the judge
Definitely not up to the usual clean crisp standard of your B&W work.

I won't tell the judge, but you never know some sneaky pentaxian might drop you in it.

Im curious, do you get your best shots when you go out to take pics, or do you carry your camera all the time, and just see an opportunity? I have visited a few sites where all these people seem to do is spend from morning till night tramping the countryside taking photos. The divorce rate amongst photographers must be sky high
Hello and welcome.
It's better to have your camera with you and not use it, than to see an opportunity and not have it with you.

Enjoy the learning process.... see you around the forum.

I agree that there is a line between what is still a photograph and what has become art. However both have their merits. I also agree that over manipulation should be admitted to by the photographer/artist so as not to mislead.

To coin 2 phrases:

If a picture paints a thousand words.... then photoshop is the spell checker!

or

If a picture paints a thousand words..... then photoshop turns half of them into lies.

I enjoy both getting it right in camera and making an image a piece of art as such I live in both camps of thought and commute regularly.

Everybody should just enjoy their art.
