Just attended a great lecture on Nature Photography. I asked the speaker his thoughts on posing his subjects and in tidying up the scene. His response was that this was fine but it was good practice to declare it when submitting pictures for exhibition or picture libraries. He gave a couple of examples the first being moths that he captures in his moth trap at night then poses god knows how. In the early morning to photograph. The second was a fox that visited his garden he set up a bin with food and put his camera inside with some form of trip. As a viewer I was not concerned he had setup and posed his subject the photography was fantastic. :O)
