I just have a slightly queasy feeling when objects that were once in the picture are gone forever. The temptation is there and the means are easily available for all of us to become a Houdini of photography and I'm just not sure if that's for the good.
Anyway, you started the ball rolling and I gave it a kick on its way. That's for the good.

Bruce, Glad you are aware of why I started the thread. In Bird photographs it is common place to remove some distracting elements but not to this extent. Also it is well to remember as Don say's 'you can not make a silk purse out of a Sow's ear'.
