What we are talking about in this particular image is the alteration of 2 frames, taken seconds apart, into a single image. No change of meaning, no change of reporting point of view. Different argument. Suppose I had an image created on film, and I cropped out some element. Some element like the guy who is holding the gun, shooting the brains out of some Vietnamese ( Cambodian? I forget the specific details)..... He does this in the darkroom, not in photoshop. So the overal story is changed by the ommission into a story of a person killed in battle rather than the icon of cruelty. This would be OK? Omission is OK, but commission is not?
