And Photoshop has given anyone with a computer the ability to play around and experiment with little investment and a learn by doing opportunity. Photography is art because it comes from a beholder's eye and can be judged as such.<br /><br /><br />Lee<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a><br />Twitter hashtag: #atozchallengeArlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1224158042970904385.post-34121225320007997362011-04-12T08:24:12.748-07:002011-04-12T08:24:12.748-07:00Nutschell- Thanks for your visit.

Now I FEEL like a photographer. <br /><br />Mish- Good to see you. Painting is hard. I can draw and I can compose images, but painting is not my thing at all. <br /><br />Leovi- Every image is unique. What some people think is perfect is not to others. <br /><br />Stephen- You know art is subjective.<br /><br />Niki- The problem (sometimes) with things that catch a person's eye is that sometimes artists catch your eye on purpose instead of relying on honing their craft. What I mean to say is they use shock value or other tools to fool people into looking at their work instead of being technically good. But that is just the way I see it.<br /><br />Siv-Thanks A bunch! I will go and check it out, but I don't know if I will have time to pass it on. I have a huge project coming up, but I will try. :-)<br /><br />Will- Great point. Though I think the wolf's head thing might be a tad kitsch. haha!<br /><br />Angela- I see it differently. In the first one it's really hard to see the depth because of the haze. By reducing the haze you are able to see the detail of the mountains further back. Then the lens flare is able to lead your eye all the way through the mountain range.Marjoriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09958530958484080973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1224158042970904385.post-43427610152059590292011-04-12T05:46:01.397-07:002011-04-12T05:46:01.397-07:00The second one is prettier, but the first one has ...The second one is prettier, but the first one has more depth.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12399082789777816445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1224158042970904385.post-17906646194990665332011-04-12T04:16:15.156-07:002011-04-12T04:16:15.156-07:00I think that all artists have the previous generat...I think that all artists have the previous generation saying "our art was genuine and honest, and you're just cheating!" Your example was perfect, touched-up, but not as though you put a wolf's head image into the clouds!

I'm not against those who use it because the important thing is creativity. I do not use it because I like it and because I am an inept and lacking in patience to learn. As my photos are mostly studio and I have the ability to manage all the variables,I can not find ne sary , repeat untilthe picture is to my liking . What matters is the final result, and each one has to find his way and his personal style. It is certain that any work of art must be imperfect in some parts to enhance perfection. Retouched photos where everything is perfect no longer poetic.

I'm a trigger-happy person when it comes to taking pictures and i wish i had the time work on this skill more. I know it takes time to develop an eye for beautiful images and creative angles. one of these days when time and money permits it, I'll take up a class on photography.thanks for sharing this post!<br /><br />nutschell<br />www.thewritingnut.comnutschellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10967710710805174781noreply@blogger.com
