I subscribe to the betterphoto.com newsletter, I'm not sure why, but I've been on their list for a while. Every month, they have a newsletter with a winning photo and "new photos discussions." Here's where I'm annoyed. The current photo of the month, http://www.betterphoto.com/gallery/dynoGallDetail.asp?photoID=2466928
IS NOT APHOTOGRAPH!!!! This is a digital image at best. I'm sorry for those digital fans out there who want to think they are producing photographs. You may shoot a photograph, but once your drop a cloud and whatever effects on it in photoshop, it is a digital image. there are many more examples of this type of things on http://www.betterphoto.com, which is mostly a site devoted to digital image capturing, so I guess I shuoldn't be too surprised.
Rant finished.

i agree with you completely...which prompts the question of when does a photo become something else (be it a digital print or a silver gelatin print?
