Whether you clone or not, depends on the purpose of the photography. Do you lean toward documentary or artful interpretation? Did you shoot so you could record the Bulgarian landscape as it now exists or were you trying to create an artful photograph? If the latter was your goal, by all means clone. Either is a worthwhile pursuit. But if pictures to hang on your wall or sell in a gallery are your goal, artful interpretation seems a more reasonable approach. It's an age old debate and one in which both sides can be right. Paul On Feb 26, 2008, at 10:55 PM, Doug Franklin wrote:
