So you've got a few photos of the same thing and you don't know which one to pick. Do you publish them all? No, you read this and then make a decision.

For as long as photography has existed, the art of deception has been front and center of the craft. You change photos, I change photos, we all change photos. Who cares, as long as the viewer is happy?
