None of the photos I upload here should have been manipulated in any fashion, other than possibly size and dimensions. I dislike post-processed "photography" that's been manipulated by someone's hand in a software package. You either take pictures, or you don't. Use your camera and the tools that work with the camera. Anyone can use software to manipulate a photo. This is a photo site, not an "art" site. Nor is it a blog site, but it's getting more and more like myspace everyday (read self promotional and amazingly cliquish).
