    Thankyou Sandra, well spotted on the series…series point.  I’d tweaked so much couldn’t see the wood for the trees.

    The perspective you raise about hiding photoshop work is one that seems to rumble around the photography world, at least at conferences etc. I’ve attended and one I find an amusing discussion (as I consider myself more of an artist than a photographer I don’t usually care all that much whether an image is or isn’t manipulated unless it is to create unrealistic ideals of ‘normal’ women but that’s another discussion altogether).  For my work though I thought it might be an important discssion point for some so wanted to express that I’m putting it out there and not pretending it is anything other than manipulated.  Its a long running thing but perhaps would not be of interest to non-photographers.

    All thoughts gratefully received, thanks so much for your input 🙂
