It depends on what you want to do with the image. If you are trying to accurately depict the deer and be objectively truthful in your portrayal leave the tick in. If you are trying to create a purty pitcher for a calendar and are trying to reinforce people's picturesque preconceptions of the lovely natural world, take it out.
Another way to put it: If you want to make money off the shot, take the tick out. There is an inverse correlation between truthfulness and monetary potential. People pay for photos that tell them the world is the way they hope it is. They don't pay for photos that tell them what the world is really like, I guess because they can see what the world is really like every day for free. My two cents - MCC ----- Original Message ---- From: Jeffery Johnson <jefferytjohn...@bellsouth.net> To: pdml@pdml.net Sent: Sat, June 18, 2011 6:45:29 PM Subject: PP help I am going through the captures I took this morning in between the rain. I do mean in between the rain and I got lucky while out at Radnor Lake and made it to their visitor center before the rain started and I hung out there while it passed. Then as I began to walk around the Lake on my way to where I parked I noticed another batch of dark clouds rolling in and I hurried on to the car. Okay now on to my question. I have been looking through my photos and on one of the fawns I captured today is a tick right between his/her eyes and a few flies. My question is should I leave them or clone them out of the photo.
