Hey Jeff,

That leads to an interesting question: if you physically change something by picking up a cigarette butt or removing an offending branch, is that any better, more proper, more ethical than removing it in Photoshop? The former at risk of scaring off the bird?

Machine-gun Mike,

Thanks for your comment. I said most of the above and agree with everything that you say.

with love, artie
