Hello, everyone ! I am Monica from Romania , for those who doesn't know that

( I've noticed that many people here call me Monica, so yeah, thanks for remembering my name, heheh)...and I am harmless, or at least I am doing my best to be !!!
I really need some help here ... I don't know when a photo it is meant to be in the photography or in manipulations category....
For example ... a few days ago someone told me that maybe I should put one of my work in the photography category, not in the manipulations, few hours later ...someone else told me that my photo( from photography category) has a lot of unnatural colors( meaning that I've played with the original and modified it).)... so, my question is... if I shoot plants, trees, nature , in general and I am working only with tones, colors, levels etc without distorting the original form, where should I put it? In photography or in digital manipulations- plants ? I am really confused and I feel like a dump because, somehow I feel like what I do, is disturbing for some people...how altered the colors should be so I can still consider my photo a photo???
I am not a photographer,( even if I've studied in college one year the art of photography)... I am ...I am trying to be

, a manipulator

... yeah, I shoot a lot... but I don't have the techniques and necessary experience to call my self a photographer, but... in the photography menu we can browse photos taken with very bad quality cell phones, and also corrected in PS and actually they accepted those there... I am NOT trying to say that those works are not belonging there,( I have a very low quality camera on my cell phone, actually, if I think twice...my phone doesn't own a camera, the old one used to have, but now it's dead and gone )... I just don't want to make some fellows uncomfortable because I upload my work in the wrong place, or it is the good one?...please... help !!!
...Aww and I have the same problem with my doll manipulations... if I take a person's portrait(stock) and change it the way I do... where should I put it? some of my old work, that I've uploaded under photo manipulations -people, where removed ... I am so confused

!
Please.. if some brainiac may enlighten me, or a good Samaritan ...!!! ...i would be so happy and thankful!







Thank you all for visiting my profile and faving or commenting my work...I wish I could say thank you to each of you, but I am not able to do this...I am trying to visit back your page and choose something that I like from your gallery, and I am happy to see new art everyday and discover so many talented people, there is no person that could not inspire me in a way or the other, we are all unique and learning from each other( even from others mistakes, not only ours ) ..that makes us what we are....... this is all I can do for now , I am sorry ..
I wish I could have 50 hands and 50 eyes and the day should have 100 hours not 24...but still it wouldn't be enough to show my appreciation for what are you doing for me every day since I've joined DA ....and thanks again for the subscription!!!! I am really honored and thank you all for supporting my work! Love you!
