About the only thing that's NOT acceptable is claiming an image is what you saw when it's not.Images have ALWAYS been manipulated, whether in processing, or with filters, or with differing camera settings. The only thing that's changed is the technology used to do it.
Nice one, adding the foreground makes such a difference to the photo
Thanks chaps botty, when taking photos for panoramas, I almost always shoot them in portrait mode so as to include a good deal of foreground. This one consists of eight images stitched together in Microsoft ICE.
