Are you saying that you might see an image, like it, but then find out clouds were added, and that would cause you to reject it?Did you use film for that image? Or is it digital? (I would like to think I could tell, but not everyone could). Were those clouds there in the original scene? Maybe none of my business, but if you want to tell me I would be curious and it may make me appreciate your work more (or reject it). If you do not want me to appreciate the work, that is fine, too. Sorry for wasting your time.
You do know that Giclee translates to Ejaculation.... t

I like the idea, but doesn’t EXIF accomplish most of this? I think what you are wanting could be accomplished with the addition of a tagline or two to the EXIF datalist.
ANSI, NIST, etc standards are in place so that no communication barriers exist to the accurate exchange of technical information and data, primarily for manufacturing and specification of components/features. So probably not the best analogy.
I think what you’re talking about is something more along the lines of the Dewey Decimal System
In what other area of the arts do we have such process specificity "standards" which artists are encouraged to enumerate?
To you, it seems, process is more important than results.
I understand this, in terms of investing in a piece of art. I just don't see how it should effect appreciating a piece of art.If someone is selling me a painting,it is inferred that it was hand painted. If it were inkjet printed, It has less long term value. If it were certified as hand painted, I would want to know of the existence of ink jet printed copies also. I have a copy of [numbered drawing repro] John Lenon, "Suddenly 38" 290/300. If it were 290,000/300,000, I would likely have expected to pay less for it.
Both are important. The results are the most important i feel, but what is represented and how it got represented is also important, at least in some cases. If I am buying a photograph to hang on my wall, and it is represented as something that occurred, but is in actuality a composite, I may take that into consideration (I may still buy it in any case, but want to start with some facts). If the artists refuses to reveal anything about it, I will take that into account also. If someone is selling me a painting,it is inferred that it was hand painted.

I remove exif data from my photographs. Don't want anyone to see what camera I used or not used. The images should stand on their own, in my opinion of course.
I'd ignore you as some kind of nut case. The images speak for themselves.Ok. I accept that. Let's say I came across your website and saw this image ( http://niranjanpatel.zenfolio.com/p900617636#h6c82aeac ). Would you be offended if I asked if there was any elements added to teh scene? Let's say I looked and saw shadow content, bit no long shadows cast by nearby objects and wondered about the position of the sun?
This is all a ruse by straight photography film fanatics to get digital imagers to admit that their images are not real photographs. It's a rehash of Group f/64's effort to discredit the Pictorialists.

I am thinking the same kind of like camera club culture.sounds like it might be interesting for people who need to follow rules and to be part of some group with a membership.
i add and subtrract things to my darkroom prints all the time. ill pass on your group, thanks.
good luck with your standards
yup ...I am thinking the same kind of like camera club culture.
It just dawned on me that the 90% of Photrio members who don't have Hybrid checked don't have the slightest idea this thread exists. Seems like you leaving a bunch of people out of the discussion.

Would you object to tagging this as "Photrio: Photography [<generalmethod> (<process descriptor)>]"?
Maybe as an artist you would not want to answer those questions or tag it. I think that wold be perfectly acceptable. I think a lot of people would be amenable to tagging as they do so informally often anyway.
You are producing amazing images! And yes it is the end product that matters ultimately.
