I was not suggesting he manipulate the photo such as I did I was showing him that it would be better if he had a photograph of the train closer to the tree as most of us take multiple shots in sequenceMDH wrote:From railpictures.net:TCtrainguy17 wrote:Any suggestions on how to make them better?

My best suggestion would be to work on getting down basic composition and lighting and get a simple wedgie or two accepted first.
Thank you MDH,I understand your concern. I am fully against re-arranging reality. I have not rearranged anything on the image. It was simply a second image taken with the train closer to the tree as suggested by Big FrankMDH wrote:From railpictures.net:TCtrainguy17 wrote:Any suggestions on how to make them better?

. All that has been done to the improved(?) image was basic RAW development and some leveling.Big Frank wrote:...if you have a shot of it closer to the tree...

Not to mention I like altering "reality" its fun and I dont try to upload those pics to RP and anybody can do a wedgie I like doing the Odd stuff plus shouldnt they be able to tell if it has been drastically altered oh wait they cant cause i have a laundry list of ppls stuff i have edited on RP If you see it and It looks real than it must beI would suggest not re-arranging reality since it violates their rules, etc. Getting a reputation for pulling those kinds of shenanigans also won't help you much if you ever want to get images published in magazines, etc.

I have no problem whatsoever with people doing whatever they want to their pictures for themselves - I'm simply pointing out the rules of the site. The screeners are human and are mostly just giving each submitted shot a quick review for the basics, not a detailed analysis looking for photoshop trickery. As with many things in life though, when you cheat your way through you usually end up cheating yourself the most in the end. (My opinion, take it for what it's worth and I won't bother moralizing any further on this.)Big Frank wrote:Manipulation:

Oh, and if a person gets caught sending "modified" work to magazines pretending it's an un-altered photo the photographer could expect to get "black listed" for any future work (and the publishing field is fairly small and seemingly everyone knows everyone so...) So lets say you get your shop-job illustration on rp.net and a publisher asks to use it and wants the original file - then what do you do? Say no, admit you cheated or cheat again and hope you don't get caught? I'd rather play it straight to begin with, but that's me.
