Three points:

First this is a forum for image critique only. I've already deleted several "questions". "Questions" go in the nature Q&A forum or the original photo.net Q&A forum only.

Second, before you post an image, make sure the URL you post works. Try entering it in your browser window and make sure the image appears. If you screw up the post, DON'T REPOST. It just makes more work for me. Post the correction as an answer to your original "question", that way I only have one thread to clean up, instead of 2, 3 or more (depending on how many times you get it wrong!).

Third, NATURE photos only. Images with "hand of man" visible will normally be deleted (with some exceptions as in PSA rules)

Thanks

I was not quite sure where to post this question as it is not really about nature photography per se but rather more to do with the rules concerning the submission of pictures. Anyway, my question is this: How much manipulation is considered ok? I mean, if i shoot with a low ISO film i can enlarge a small piece of my original slide without getting a picture that is too grainy. Then I crop it, thereby getting a totally different picture. I know cropping is ok, but what about enlarging? I think that the pictures submitted should resemble the original, maybe with the exception of cropping.
