. . .with ham-fisted Photoshop manipulation? I'm talking about landscape photos I see posted on the Web. I wonder what makes a photographer think he/she could ever begin to improve on the true colors of a landscape. To me it looks bizarre and unnatural, like a little girl heavily made-up and dressed like a hooker. Why go to the trouble of capturing a great nature scene, only to discard the very thing that makes it great--the naturalness of it? Your thoughts?
Merry Christmas to everyone!

Agreed. I hate heavy or just bad photoshopping.
Merry Christmas to you too!

sometimes photoshopping can improve a photo. but only if the person using it is any good, which means that they need the practise. So be patient and one day these photos will be touched up in a way which makes them amazing

Maybe they didn't capture a "great" nature scene and just tried to beef it up with too much saturation. But I agree with you. Enough is enough and any more is usually too much. Unless it's one of MY photos and then I can do what I please. (haha)
