Oh, so it's not about recording reality. You can pick and choose what
matters. So eliminating a piece of trash on the ground is dishonest but
enhancing the blue of the sky beyond what was actually there with a
polarizer is okay. Bill, you're full of shit.

The process by which a photo is created has nothing to do with ethics
unless the photo is four new reporting purposes or some other field
where accurate representation is important . For hobbyist/fine art
photography it matters not a twit. By Tom's rationale, BW photography
is dishonest, because the colors aren't real. Hogwash.
A "reflection of reality" (my term from a previous post) merely means
that what is in the photograph was in the original scene, and that
what was in the original scene is still there.
It matters not a whit if it's colour or b&w.
