This photo was taken just after sunrise in a meadow. It was a moment I felt very fortunate to have captured I have consecutive photos leading up to "the kiss" and photos taken after. To prove that it was not "digitally altered" I will be more than happy to put all the photos in a step by step, I will not do that till its requested however, because I've never had to add consecutive photo shots in a photography contest to prove that a photo was not photo manipulated. The only editing done was auto contrast and auto tone. EXIF data is included in the SBS (5 years and 2426 days ago)

LOL !! All they would want if they suspected trickery would just be the exif tag for the photo. and the info on that tag tells the whole story.

Yeah I was a little hot tempered earlier because the first upload was removed. I went back and reread the message and it said about the Exif data, which I had never used before. Just surprised me that it was even thought to be digitally altered.

I would be proud if my photo was so good that they thought it was altered.

Perhaps if I had a chance to drink a coffee first I wouldn't have been so quick to anger. I'm not really a morning person.

Thanks, I'll play around with it and see what I get. It was a very golden morning and the sun was shining directly on them. It was more gold than this originally.
