Does anyone agree, or am I being over critical? Indirectly, I think I am supported by the BRM magazine. How often do you see photographs in there where the backgrounds have clearly been edited out?

As a late comer to model railways, and having worked on just two layouts, in some ways I don't feel I have the experience to make conclusive comments. (Here comes the however). However, from the moment I started viewing layouts, I felt that the background scenes had a great deal to play in how good they looked. I saw numerous displays which had wondrous modelling and weathering, but which were badly let down by their backgrounds. What was clearly years of great work seemed to have been spoiled by background scenes painted in gaudy colours, or with poor, inappropriate use of perspective.
