This statement "Take the OP's least manipulated photo", needs to be addressed. If I may?

The forum needs a little humor.
Well here it is, "Take the OP's least manipulated photo" (I'm the OP).
If this was, at any time, on any post, a true statement, a "manipulated photo", there must be a reason why or
I shutter to think. (lol)
The heckler never addressed ME, the OP, directly.
I question his ethics, motive, and his use of the basic manners, we are taught.
No. 1 - Don't be afraid to ask me any question on how I do my research.
No. 2 - Don't be afraid to question anyone's ethics on any matter. It may open your eyes a little.
No. 3 - Me, I'm willing to show anyone, any photo without any alternative motive other than what you wanted to know. (The how and why the photo was created).
No 4 - No question is never a dumb question.
No. 5 -
If the perfect professional witness would be a policeman ?
Then, a person who's daily use (45yrs) of a glass (loupe) every day, all day, as a job requirement, without a doubt would be classified as a professional, and a craftsman (ME) (with my own ethics). Retired and still going.
No. 6 - No one is PERFECT, ace
