Vic, if I had the talent to paint gardens and flower beds, I'd just paint the weeds away! With my low level of camera skill, I did recently edit away a small bug on a light-coloured daylily flower. Still, if I had the talent to paint, there'd be no end to not only what got put into reproductions of the garden, but also on what was edited out. I take it that Monet would set his garden up to paint it, but obviously in creating the painting, he was not not impeded by trying to reproduce the horticultural details.
