While an artist, and you are one, is entitled to license in their product, it seems that nature photography ought to depict nature not an altered "improved" version that completely changes the color of the bird

Well I agree if you are producing for National Geographic or Google etc. But as an artist one tries to produce something more beautiful than life. If we think of Claude Monet, or Renoir etc or even my mentor, the master painter of Oahu; Mark Brown. There is an element of realism, but it is enhanced to reflect our imagination. I see Ron more an artist than a documentarian. I could be mistaken but could we be allowed visual license as poets are allowed poetic license?
