This subject is one, that has nothing to do with the quality of images in question, but with the question, where to place them.
I noticed you had Michel's wonderful dog 3D image in LWITG. Though beautiful - I don't think it's a photography any longer. Mixed or 2D would be appropriate place to post it. Same goes for Fairies that appear with postwork wings in flowers, George Bush's face in a King George painting and so on.
I don't mind postwork - I'm using it a lot myself. But it's used to enhance the image - or in drastic cases to focus on the object in the image by replacing a hectic background with a dark or light one.

But when other elements are introduced to actually make or complete an image, then it's really no longer photography.

Again - no critique on an individual image - just on where it should be posted.

Interested on what ya'll think.

Cheers
