I went in and cloned over some of the clutter in the background, should I also clone over the other flower in the top right corner? or does that give it a feeling of depth? #195

Hi Brad,

That's a good question. I would probably analyze the photo and decide what exactly I want the viewer to be seeing.

If this sense of depth was the main concept you wanted to convey - or if it played a major part in conveying the main concept - then you might want to leave it.

For me, though, the main subject is the delicate pattern on the main flower itself. Therefore, I would eliminate the flower in the background.

Beautiful image! #338

Personally, I would not clone anything. I am a person that believes in the originality of photographs, thus I disapprove of any cropping or any other alternations. Call me close-minded if you will, perhaps even a hypocrite, since I have cropped before. But I really like the image that you have produced, even if you have altered it a little. GREAT PHOTO! #683
