In this photo, the editor decided to add a fourth rocket launching in the published version. The original is on the right. Was there any real benefit to adding that extra rocket? There are serious implications to altering a photo that depicts a historical situation such as this.

This is NOT my photo. This is Norfolk Odyssey's image.
I did a lot of tweaks to this image and when I was done I compared it with the original and found the certain portions of the image were better in the original. I then created the original as the top-most-layer and slowly begain erasing to reveal the adjusted photo until I had a perfect blend of the two. It amost felt like doing HDR on an image.
I still think mine is too bright and I'd play more games with it, but I wanted to see what kind of detail I could reveal. My shot is more like "turning on the lights" and loses some of the mystique the original photo has. I'm sure there is some middleground between them.
