There is a thought-provoking discussion in the forums about “manipulation” of marine life, and how much of it (if any) is acceptable.  Although I suspect it is a debate that will never be won by either side (opinions can be quite extreme and judgmental), the discussion is fascinating and provides insight into the trade-offs and decisions we have to make each time we frame a shot of a difficult subject.

It’s a must-read for anyone who has ever thought about poking a fish to move it into position for a better shot.
