I think it would be interesting to see just how much can be done with less than stellar photos with processing. Whether it is just enhancement or full-blown digital abstract art, post them here so some new people can get an idea of the endless possibilities. In other words, don't trash those bloopers.
The first photo was taken in RAW. It needs a lot.
This is after straightening, adjusting brightness and contrast, a bit of tone-mapping, highlighting with colorization, deepening some of the green areas, brightening some of the other areas with the yellow from the flowers.
Or this.....
This is not to say that everyone is supposed to like one better than another just because I do. Don't go there. This is only to demonstrate the possibilities when shooting in RAW.
