Photography

Enhancements to photos that are "lackluster", Via digital modification, IMO, are OK if the aim is not to misrepresent what the original actually was. A sunset shot in Florida over-water turned out well enough to capture the memory, but as it was directly into the sun required manipulation of bright/contrasts to print more like I'd remembered it. For grins, I fiddled a bit with the color tempratures, hues and saturation. Then I printed a light image to a printer-compatable actual-canvas, and used water-color pencils and oil-pastels to emphasize the transitions between light and shadows.
I like the effect, others may not,
