Not pretty at all ... :lol:

The pic could be enhanced by focus stacking to lose the out of focus legs ...

Focus stacking - taking a series of photos focussing on different "planes" through the subject and then using focus stacking software which takes the sharpest bits from each of the photos and combines them into one image - effrectively increasing the dof.

Eg this one taken with my old D90 camera on tripod manually focussed on rear flowers and then successive photos taken while slowly turning the focus ring until the front flower was in focus - about 11 photos in all if I remember right.

Or this one taken with a reversed lens to get macro --

Fiendish - but isn't it cheating?:devil: - I suppose not if you are selling photographs for a living. I will investigate this.

AHH....thats a debatable point. How much digital manipulation is "acceptable" before we say it's not right?

The latest AI tsunami is going to change everyone's perception of "what exactly is photography?"

The subject has been covered on another thread started by Graham who was writing an article for a professional photography magazine.








For example here is a Lynx I photographed in Colorado......

No ......good old AI or AyeUp as we call it in Yorkshire.


Is that a photograph or an example of photographic artistic creation? I don't know how the future will regard images......probably don't WANT to know, if I am being honest.


But then, people have been mucking about with images ever since computer imaging software arrived. Not in the same league as AI fantasyscapes but what amount of buggering about turns a photo into an image? 

Does this simple addition of an asymmetric white border, to emphasise the 3D effect and height of the jump, make this photo ...no longer a photo?
