As far as you want, Bruce. My opinion is it depends on who you consider to be your audience (it could be just you) and what you are trying to portray to them.
You could be portraying a fantasy scene to folks who enjoy fantastic images. You'd be likely to take a shot then add composites, Photoshop it to reshape stuff, or paint on it, etc. Toss a unicorn in there if you like. At the other end you may be targeting nature lovers and assuming journalistic boundaries. Then going beyond getting the exposure right may be too much. :-) Personally, I do what I feel like and to hell with the naysayers. "What I feel like" is constantly changing and is influenced by experience.
