If you want to brag...... I have been in the bottom five images in many challenges and may hold the record for this amazing feat. I will now go and console myself with a nice glass of scotch

Indeed this is true. Some people do not like composites at all and of course background lighting does not match perfectly all the time I occasionally make serious background changes to some images ...

Logic does not necessarily apply: Seems to me there is a different game a foot. Possibly he is simply trying to see how long he can go without being recognized and eventually banned. Each time he ...

You made this personal. You cast aspersions on my ability to comprehend a common term and thereby indirectly imply that I have no moral compass since it was expected by you. Does your moral ...

Please explain why I missed the point and why it would be expected? Again thanks for totally evading any questions. You seem to be quite polished at this process.

Why would you think I misunderstand? According to the Oxford English dictionary a moral compass is "a noun used in a reference to a person's ability to judge what is right and wrong and act ...

There are people whose moral compass points in exactly one fixed direction. Where is my compass pointing if I shoot a nude woman in a waterfall or if I am shooting at church choir in the ...

Anyone posting images on a system such as DP review will have an intrinsic technical quality attitude as will the people viewing the images I doubt that experience was a critical aspect. Either you ...

Could you please define "artistic merit". One of the problems I see is that if I take it one of my photographs I will get 20 different measures of merit from 20 different people varying from a ...

Some of us have a great deal of difficulty mentally processing color in an intellectual way. 20 years ago in digital I attempted to embrace color photography but found I failed miserably and wound ...

You seem to forget that FrancoD is responding to the needs of a Young Man who was attempting to do professional work but lacks the equipment that he apparently needs. In other words the fellow was ...

I suspect that is the mantra of just about everybody: it all depends upon what your level of satisfaction is in which specific cases. Generally speaking the better you are the faster you are.

All of these are basic Photoshop post-processing techniques.  There are many more that are specifically applicable

The only camera that I think nails down a design for all intents and purposes perfectly is the Leica m10. No other rangefinder comes close!
