And from my point of view he did nothing that changed the meaning of the photographs. Getting rid of a distracting background is a long long way from cloning in someone who wasn't there. I think this is all coming about because people are now buying digital cameras. Almost all of them come with some kind of digital editing software so people are becoming aware that things like this are possible. In the past they kind of thought that a photographer had no more control over the content of their pictures that the consumer did over his snapshots. That never was true.
To me the line is when you do something that changes the meaning of a photograph. Editing for impact is in my mind just part of the photographic process. Just a couple of weeks ago you were all trying to get Boris in trouble by telling him to clone out that trash can <grin>. I wondered why Schneider was singled out to be made an example of, the PDN article makes that clear. A jealous competitor in the contest complained.
