Not sure if you meant me or not
Suffice to say that in the majority of cases its my humble opinion that its the end result that counts. We are image creators as well as photographers, so using the tools at our disposal to create the image we have in our minds eye is not straying over boundaries.
I have more of a problem however when there is an intention to decieve and if there is something added or taken out that influences the publics perception of an event then this is morally questionable. I'm thinking particualry now of photo manipulation in news photography and there have been cases fairly recently of photographers being inststantly dismissed from newspapers when it was found that they had manipulated the image to alter our perception. I certainly don't include putting a butterfly on a new background as quite the same thing though
