Just one of the things I like about Hive Photography, a lot of photo's are edited, but mostly for color correction stuff, and composition. I don't see people editing out the debris like dead coffee cups candy wrappers and other general trash, most may be removed in the cropped photo, but if the crop is going to ruin the shot it stays in.
Busy photo's are great to look at, in a magazine the beach is empty, in real life a lot of people.
