i have a pretty nice picture for the free study but it was crowded the day i took the picture. A few pedestrians are visible in my shot. They are by no means the focus of the picture and they are pretty small and i feel its comparable to cloning out some power lines if i remove the people (its just their upper bodies showing over a ledge). Its a nice landscape shot and the people are detracting from the image.
So am I allowed to remove them? |

It would have to be a SC decision if it gets called up, but I have done similar. The question I ask myself it: "Would this change alter the typical viewers description of this photo?" One member shows the photo to his small child and asks them to describe the picture. If the description includes said element, he knows it is too major an element to clone out.

| My guess is not, but you're better off, certainly safer, to open a ticket with Site Council. |

the only change to the description is one will look occupied and the other will look like a clean landscape shot with no one around.
but it wont alter "description" of the photo i was going for..

| One thing to consider - do the people really distract, or are they a nice way of showing scale to your photograph? (I'm quite weird in that I LIKE people in landscape shots.) |

| If a viewers description of the image would not include " there are these people in the foreground of this landscape" then clone them out if they bug you so much; but know that some would prefer the image with people, and you might guess wrong about what is a major element and get DQed. |
