Photo Manipulation and Ethics -Hoesay

Photo manipulation in my opinion is horrible, it creates a false image that can ruin the way a person is perceived. Models for example are photoshopped to appear as perfect beings, a falsehood of perfection that doesn't exist and has people feel bad about themselves for not looking like the "perfect beings" in the pictures.

Re-creating a meeting where photographers weren't present is unethical, people who don't really understand the context will think that two enemies have now formed an alliance.  

The original photo didn't include the puppy. With or without the pup wouldn't have made me view the image differently, it's not that big a deal.
