Bro, like I always say, Post processing is part of the image making workflow. The issue here is where to strike the balance, because the tools available to us nowadays allow us to do too much. In the end, everyone has to find their own point of balance, and their own style. And that comes a lot with experience also, because as we mature more in our photography, our eye also changes, and what we deemed as acceptable or not also changes.
Very true. You have a good point. I have yet to develop that photographic eye to ascertain for myself what works and what doesn't.
More often than not, what I shoot seems nicer to me it would to others. Haha. I am trying to train myself to be objective. But I often cant see the flaws in my own photo till someone points it out. For that, I am glad that you guys are here to share your thoughts. Really appreciate it.
Add to that, the trouble of processing. Sometimes can get carried away and go a little further than intended. Haha. What has helped is seeing the different examples on CS and in the WWW in general.
Still waiting in hope for the final tutorial session on Post-processing by DD123. Haha.
