Teh only way to compete with others who cheating, if I start to cheat too.
Or just achive somehow to separate the photography from a digital art, and not need to compete at all, because they are two diferent art form, so they are not need to compete. They can exist in peace next to each other.
And the best of this that, in this case nothing is a cheat anymore what the digital artist do, and how they are doing! Because in the digital art anything is acceptable!

But digital artist want to claim the name of photography anyway, and I already said why is that.


If the digital art and digitally manipulated pictures are able to claim the name of photography, and just the cheating is the only way to stay standing, I quit and put down my cameragear for ever, because I can't cheat.
I grow up in a very honest family. We had nothing but our honest, and our conscience. I can't sleep with a remorse in my mind, I have no stomac to be dishonest, and to scam others, make them believe my photo was captured as I show them but in fact it wasn't. I can't do that.
For some one it is not a big deal, for me it is. Here in america where kids killing their parents for money, a little dishonest is really nothing, even it is obligatory.
