I like what you did with the subway/mime photo and completely agree with your rational.
Your hospital shooting was very good. Keep it up.

If I alter a photo too much then I call it an image.
Most photos need a bit of post processing, exposure, contrast etc. and photojournalism should stick to this. They are there to provide the truth and if photos have articles removed or placed into them it alters our perception of an event/time/place and chips away at that truth/trust.

It’s a very hard question to determine where the line is. Personally, I always liked to try and keep most photos as close to as the moment they were shot. When it comes to photojournalism I feel this should hold true as well. Of course I don’t even stick to this myself, but when people start to significantly alter photos, it irks me from time to time. I stil love film photography, and although I don’t develop pictures myself anymore, I miss the dark room. Burning, dodging, etc by hand really gives you an appreciation for photoshop, haha
