You hear some people criticize those that use programs to manipulate photos. They're considered "Fake" or " Un-Pure" if you dodge a little here or despeckle a little there. They look towards inspiration like Ansel Adams to show that untouched photos are the only way to go.
What some people don't know is that not only was Ansel an absolutely phenominal photographer, he was an outstanding developer as well. Many of his "Pure" works of art came from hours, days or even months of exposing, reexposing, over-exposing, etc of different elements of his images until he acheived exactly what he was looking for. He was just so good at knowing what he wanted the light to do, that he was able to change the exposure of a tree or a waterfall in his photolab. He was basically Photochopping before the program was even thought about. So to all you PhotoChoppers out there, hats off and keep up the great work!
Here's a few I did some quick PS work with. I hope you enjoy.
