A Romantic Meeting

Oh no, someone used Photoshop on a photograph !!!!!!

Get over yourself.

Actually I didn't nominate it, someone else did, I just happened to notice it in the nomination thread.

If there is a question concerning the provenance of this image, perhaps it should be hidden until this can be established satisfactorily.

Cut the rude. This issue is this: Did he or did he not take the photo of the flamingos? If he did not and this is a composite of OTHERS work it is NOT legitimate photography. Sometimes thinking doesn't hurt as badly as some guess it will.

It's cool artwork. I use photoshop on every single photo, from adjusting levels and contrast to merging exposures for focus stacking or balancing exposure, but I'm not a huge fan of compositing different scenes and calling it photography. Maybe I'm a hypocrite, I don't know

Not that photoartmation needs to do anything, but much doubt about ownership could be removed if he or she could post the originals that were composited together.

Poor choice of words on my part, my apologies. But I found your reply to me rather rude.

Now if there is a doubt as to if the OP did in fact take this picture then I agree. But that was not the question, there was no question at that point as to who actually took the photo. The question was the use of photoshop.

Ok, I see that point. I was not clear in my implications that the photoshopping seemed more like photo-chopping....which is what I am beginning to suspect rather strongly is this case.

sorry for interrupting your conversation..
1.

do u need original?? ok
i can send it to u for 300$
2. photoshop VS. photo shot-shot-and-shot again
well
matter of taste...

Oh dear. That doesn't look good at all.

I'm calling it. In my opinion, photoartmation is stealing photos from all over the place and claiming them as his or her own.
