Photographic truth
This image more closely represents the reality of this birds life than if I took an image of it in a tree with a blurry background, obscuring it’s true environment. There is nothing wrong with taking pictures of animals while creating a visual environment that we would wish for them, but it would be a mistake to think that that is the same thing as them having one. We do virtually the same thing when we look at a scene even without a camera. No one wants to admit that the road they are on exists while they look up at the mountain in front of them.
