[QUOTE="Essence of Imagery, post: 4331, member: 920"] Perhaps it's just me, but I really think it completely depends on the genre of photography. As mentioned by Joseph, landscape photography is a genre in which I don't find myself editing images that much. There are times when I do very small edits - example: [img]http://www.essenceofimagery.com/nikonites/GG-original.jpg[/img] [IMG]http://www.essenceofimagery.com/nikonites/GG1.jpg[/IMG] ^In this image, there was a vehicle driving down the road with its brakes applied, leaving a small trail of red light in the black section. Since traffic is almost a constant issue here, I captured the image and simply painted over the area with black. Does that mean I'm less of a photographer because I altered my image? [IMG]http://www.essenceofimagery.com/nikonites/sunset.jpg[/IMG] ^This image is AS SHOT - no post production to this image. Does this make me a better photographer? To say I never edit images wouldn't be the truth - but, in my opinion, there are times when it's appropriate. [/QUOTE]
