1. It is obvious that there are some cables passing through the foreground, and you have removed the middle part while keeping both ends, which is not allowed in tourism photography. The definition of tourism photography states that it means that no elements can be removed or added to the original image.
2. The regional characteristics and culture reflected in the image are not very obvious, and when used in tourism photography, it will result in lower scores.   Posted: 01/13/2024 07:43:54

I agree with Ren that alterations are not permitted in travel photography.   Posted: 01/13/2024 23:14:52
