Re: Is it a photo or a painting?

It can be art, and I believe it is, but it cannot be a painting for the simple reason that it wasn't created with paint. Why not call it panoramic art (and in the small print say "using some photographic techniques*).

In the making, in Photoshop, I played with the seam and a bit with the N and S poles. So is it a photograph with earthly coordinates? Or have I crossed the boundaries of photographic panorama editing and turned it into a painting? In my view, this is a record of the time and place that my camera made, so I'd say my region is USA-Florida. But alternatively, I could say my region is Artistica (non-photographic) Panoramic Paintings
