Eisboch,
Thanks for the comment, and I too disagree with Harry about a photograph
should be limited to "You are there" or "Postcard" record of a scenic
view. If I limited myself to this kind of photography, I would get
bored very quickly. The best photos I have seen have been
manipulated in some fashion, either by perspective, a very unique
angle, shutter speed (to enrich the colors or blur all or part of the
photo, using the aperture to change the depth of field, deliberately
blurring part or all of the scene (by moving the camera or zooming the
lens while using a slow shutter speed, HDR or other post processing
techniques.


You "misunderstood" my comment. I often change perspective, angle,
shutter speed or aperture myself, but when I do, I am still looking for
a photo found in nature.

Thanks for the clarification, and you were correct, my photo was
definitely not what one would see in the real world.
