Great questions, and great conversation. I do feel it has to do with the purpose of the photo. My landscape photos’ purpose is to inspire. The telephone wire distracts from the inspirational purpose of the photo, so I remove it. Saturating the colors in the sunset helps emphasize the inspirational purpose of the photo, so I saturate them. True, as Christians, we have a moral obligation to be truthful, but the purpose of me creating a landscape photo for art is not to document where the telephone poles are, or exactly what hue the colors of sunset were.
