Joseph Codispoti was kind enough to post the picture on his site. http://www.clearsightusa.com/feli-crop.html The top frame is my cropped and tilted version. My question was if it was unethical to dodge/fix the lower left corner. Joseph made a few crops and #7 seems to work the best, although it could maybe be cropped a little lower on the bottom. I understand that it is completely unacceptable to manipulate a image intended for journalistic purposes, but didn't understand if that included something like this. I didn't study journalism, so I am not familiar with the standards of the profession. Thanks, feli - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
