LATER EDIT
Some of you didn't understand the concept of digital manipulation so we thought to explain it a little so everybody knows what it is.
Most photo manipulations include replacing the elements from an image with the elements from another image, thus creating a new image that is close to what the artist envisioned and has little or no real life corespondent, call it a piece of art.
Photo manipulations also include retouching, changing the background, changing the sky etc.
Photo editing consists in small adjustments made to an image (contrast exposure,saturation). The difference between image editing and image manipulation is that in basic editing you do not alter the subject of the photograph.
Here is an example of an image that is manipulated. This location doesn't exist in real life. It is a place I imagined.
I used 6 different images to get to this one photograph.
This is one example of what a manipulation is.
Another is in the video below. There, I am turning day into night to change the whole mood of the image so it matches what I imagined.
