@jgpittenger Dear Jane - this is as it is! I do not photoshop any photos - I actually don't even have photoshop. I believe in photography to be what you see. There is a quote that I love - "Photography is the power of observation, not the application of technology." And that's how I view my journey in photography :)
Beautiful shot. I think we have very different views on the value and validity of technology/post-processing but that doesn’t stop me from appreciating the beauty of your images.
@gardencat Thanks Joanne. I think you have pointed out the difference between sooc photography and the application of technology very well. There is "no right or wrong" in it, and each can be appreciated for what they are. I just appreciate it if people acknowledge they have "photoshopped" a photo when you get the "wow" factor which makes it an incredible photo. Thanks for taking the time to comment :)
