Phil, Thank you for giving me a helpful lesson here. I really appreciate it and I made the corresponding changes. :)

I recognized the color immediately as Zion. A nicely framed, richly colored landscape. As a purist, I would warn against any digital alterations to the original image, but in this case, the world will not end if you clone out the van in the middle of the picture. You are not changing the meaning by cloning here, only doing the same thing you would if the van had been at the edge and your cropped it out. As long as you do not ever ADD anything that was not actually there when you made the image, you are fine. (For example, if you added those clouds without telling us that the image was composite, this would have been an unethical landscape.) So it's OK to clone out the van. The image will be no less truthful. Just pretend it is hiding behind that bush!
