Don't get me wrong...I am in no way supporting either side of this one..just throwing out what I hope is a helpful hint. Just remember that probably 95% of the people coming to this site will never read this forum or your messages and will only judge your images as they perceive them in the gallery. I think that if you posted your last sentence as the tag for your images, then not only would people not figure they are digital manipulations but would be as incredibly impressed with your images as I was when I looked at them again with the knowledge that they were all created with lighting, setup and technique. With that knowledge, your work becomes even more impressive. -=>Donald
