So a local photographer got a hold of me and offered me a photoshoot. I had seen his work and I couldn't resist and meet up with him. We had rescheduled many times and finally decided to do it yesterday. I hope everyone enjoys these pictures!

Well it's just that I don't like it when people alter my work without my permission, that's all :) Hopefully that is understandable. Though I do know what look he was trying to achieve, though in the process it ended up being burnt. Either way thanks for the compliments and warm welcome to you and everyone :D

Making a copy/editing of something does not "steal/take" the thing which is copied. Unlike literal piracy, giving my friend a copy of Microsoft Office doesn't violate the law against theft. To steal is to take away something from someone, so that he no longer has it. (Actually, stealing a car and returning it is still theft, but you get my drift.) Either way, I respect your work and I won't be editing anymore of your pictures. Even though, I had 4 other pictures I edited but did not post them. The one that I posted is the one that stood out to me the most, the rest of them aren't as you say "burnt".

I agree, it is not stolen or taken. It is just what it is, altering someone's work, that's all :) I respect you for holding back on posting or further editing the other ones. Means a lot to me, so thank you very much. Because in the end there's nothing I can really do about it. Hope there is no animosity between us, though I am flattered you would think my pictures to be nice enough to edit hehe. Either way let's push this topic aside since it is settled :) Thank you again.

Some may consider it flattering, and some may not like it. But I don't think it's craziness if the owner would not like their images altered upon :). Either way you are right about the last part =P
