I chose this picture of neil armstrong landing on the moon because it was such a monumental achievement so why not insert a little comedy?Astronaut Edwin E. Aldrin Jr. took the photograph with a Hasselblad 70mm camera during the expedition. I manipulated it by taking a photo of a toy astronaut golfing and inserting him in the photo and blending him using the clone tool. I also brightened the ball. I then edited a sign for a country club and inserted it and blurred it to match the photo. I added bright patches to the toy astronaut to match where the sun was hitting armstrong. I don't think it was harmful because it was all in good fun.
The article I read "Claims of Photo Fakery Get a Lot of Exposure in Court" related to my photo as to the harmfulness of editing photos. I believe that there are many criteria to determine this and it all depends on how detrimental the additions are.
