When is photography no longer photography? If there is a lot of post development rendering / editing..is it still photography? All images are artefacts, even the original negative, does further processing / computer enhancement make the result less of a photographic achiement? Or should lens captured images only count as a photograph?? For example, is the "Snowscape" picture (or others in my gallery which have been heavily edited post development) a photgraph or not? I'm just curious as to how other people think. Michael
