Apologies for imposing a judgement on heavily manipulated or composited photos - we all have our own goals in our image making and I should not have passed judgement on the validity of other approaches. My approach just happens to be documentary. 

Of course every image has its own subjective view-point and the framing includes or excludes something by its nature. As does lighting and the way it's printed - and Black and White is not reality in the first place.

Then I mistakenly posted a message to an off-list printing friend to the list - apologies for that too.

I must be having a bad day!

thanks,
Richard
