[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 2472, member: 1061"] Now [B]that[/B] is very cool! I completely understand your point. It is a valid one that I tend to agree with on most occasions. It largely depends on the individual photograph. HDR for example, is hit or miss with me. When used in moderation, HDR can bring out rich tonal depth and look simply amazing, yet still natural. But far too often, it gets over-used. One of my favorite photographers has a technique where he transforms people into marionettes through Photoshop editing. These images are obviously heavily edited, yet they are very compelling and evoke a lot of emotion. I use this as an example because although there is a lot of editing, it is still art because of that emotion. Perhaps categories [I]are[/I] the solution, I don't know. Whatever is ultimately decided, it should be clearly stated in the contest rules how post-processing will be handled. For me, Photoshop is my darkroom and few images go through my workflow without some form of editing. [/QUOTE]
