MMC,It's nice. lots of clarity. only problem is,, it was a very foggy early morning. The fog bank was moving along the ground changing the entire scene as I stood their talking pictures. I have at least 6 more shots taken in a time frame of 6-7 min. All have a noticably different tonal qualities to them. Although I do appreciate your working with my shot, and IT IS very nicely done, there was no clarity due to the heavy fog moving in. I truely like what you did, but you just made my point.
mwsilvers just accused me of having NO appreciation for art. If you had read my original posting,as well as my other responses, you would not come to that conclusion. Therefore ,I would have to accuse you of reading my post with a preconceived notion that I am anti editing, which is completely untrue.
In a nutshell, my original posting was a simple pondering of what we are subject to in the world of visuals. Simply put, is what we see really what we are seeing, or has it been "doctored" to elisit a certain viseral response.
I have done a bit of in camera editing by changing the white balance and using some of the in camera tools olympus puts in there.
I have taken a blazing sunset, and turned it into a more monogaphic scene by stretching the white balance. REAL editing? not hardly,BUT editing non the less. SO I do appreciate art. Actualy I went to college to major in art. Couldn't afford to finish college, so I moved on with life.
Making claims that I am anti art,or anti editing is childish at best, seeing that you know nothing of my personal backround. AGAIN,stop reading, and start photographing. Much more fun. One more point, the end of a journey is not always the climax. Often it is the adventures along the way that make for memorable moments. So it is with my photography. I get real joy in the act of searching out things or places to photograph and sometimes the aventure accociated with going out and SEEING. Sometimes that is all it is, just seeing.
A blessed Christmas to all. And remember the REASON for the season.
