Tailless Starved Pygmy Seahorse........

Unique shot of a tailess hungry Pygmy sea horse coming out to greet some divers in the hope to get a snack.

I think the way the question is presented leads to only one answer. Do you think deception is deceptive?

Clearly, art is art and journalism is journalism. How acceptable this technique is depends on what your goal is. Photographers do far worse than this above water in the name of art.

Lol Thanks....and u would have to be pretty dense to answer other wise. Actually, I am not against art where pictures are combined. Where does photography stop and "art " start i.e. is auto leveling still photography or is it art ? What about colour changing, or adding rays to the sun ?

I would never pass off the above picture as a real one, and anyone who does is not being honest with themselves.
