I see no problem in composites, or any other sort of Photoshop editing, as long as you say so upfront. I have scanned two slides together, I know photographers who used to insert two negatives into an enlarger to print, it has always happened. The problem occurs when you hide these tricks, and try and pass it off as an original single frame. That is why most major photographic contests, like BBC's Wildlife Photographer of the Year, nowadays insist on seeing the original RAW files of the winners before announcing them.
