Since the beginning of photography photographers have been altering their images to change reality.  This has been done in the camera with the use of filters, it the dark room using manipulation and today on the computer.  Ansel Adams is thought of as a genius not because of his camera but because of this darkroom alterations and controls.

Years ago we used to joke about needing a telephone pole filter, to remove them from the scene we were attempting to photograph.  Today we think it nothing to take out and altering what we find displeasing about an image with the aid of the computer.  At this time we have not excuse for not producing the blemish free illustration except we don’t want or don’t have a computer.

This photograph was taken because of the interesting graphic of the curved cover on the right side.  This is a pleasant visual and a subject that could yield a number of other images.  The lawn to the left is a nice counter point to the structure.

I would suggest to the photographer a couple alterations he may wish to make.  There are places in the grass where it has been worn through and there are small white items that could be paper or perhaps cigarette butts that make the lawn less than perfect.  This can be corrected on the computer by using the cloning tool.  Also the flower pots can be brought back to new condition by removing the dark chemical staining caused by watering clay pots with the use this same tool.
