An interesting point. We are not doing technical photo-documentation
here, so along with individual aesthetic preferences, there is the issue
of imagination and artistic license which in my opinion ought not to be
restricted in any way.
On another level, one may claim that all photographs are "fakes" - just
ask 100 photographers to shoot the same scene and you get 100 different
images, all modified by the camera, lens, lighting, timing, and
processing; so which one is "real" anyway?
