Eclipse Composite Photo is Beautiful, But Not Real | NPPA

Ken Geiger’s image of Grand Teton and the eclipse is beautiful.

Is it art? A composite? Photoshop? Multiple exposures, shot with different lenses in different directions at different times of day on two different frames? An impossible scene? I suppose “illustration” is the best description. Whatever it is, it’s gorgeous, but it’s certainly not photojournalism. It’s not reality, but the artist defines it as art and intends it to transcend reality.
