Should I airbrush out a tree?

[Ilbap]

I had a shot rejected for "Obstructing Objects (Foreground Clutter)":

Should I get rid of the tree and upload again?:


I'm not sure as this photo would be a bit fake, and is this against the rules by being "digitally enhanced"?

Thanks for your help.

No. I think that will be spotted

Might have worked on first upload but still classed as digitally enhanced so against the rules. IMO of course.

Mark, IMO that looks quite good with the tree, but some prefer it without. The thing is, in the edited version, the border can still be made out (I was looking really closely). There is a lighter patch where the tree was supposed to be.

IMO, if you could change the airbrush color a bit, then I feel it's OK to upload it. Deifferent people feel differently on this subject. I feel it's fine.

I drew a red line around the lighter patch, to show you what I mean:

That's a nice pic u got there, btw.

Mark,
If your going to do it, CLONE it, not paint it.

And...

Do it, don't ask if you should..

I dont think the original rejection reason was exactly right, since the tree isnt really hiding any part of the plane.

But if you clone stuff out, and one of us screeners finds out about it...that is not good

I guess I won't do it then. I did use the clone tool but I did it very quickly just to give an idea of what it would look like, and I knew there was an obvious line

Thanks for your advice, it is all appreciated.

Indeed, keep the tree. It adds some depth and scale to the photo.
