Hmmmm. there was that Art Wolfe book where he admitted to messing with his photos to make them more prefect. It was on patterns of nature or something. He's taken a lot of flack for his defense of the right for nature photographers to "lie" with their photos. And he deserves ever bit of it. But as we've been saying, we have no problem with cropping. The very act of taking a photograph is an exercise in cropping - except with maybe the exception of that Nikkor 6mm f/2.8 fisheye. But adding black to a photo the pretends to be journalistic or documentary is dishonest.
