I see.
It was taken by a smartphone, the egrets were far away and out of range hence a bit blur.
On the blue one, I am trying to correct this.
Glad to hear your comment 🙂
You are quite right.
But if you show the color picture first, then many people will say that they like the color, natural one.
Possibly. Since I am slightly colour blind, I don’t really know what is the “right” colour.
Anyway, too many photos are photoshopped and you don’t know what are the true colors 🙂
True. But then , to me it is helpful. Especially for old pictures. Restores some colour.
It’s true; things can act both ways.
People like saturation, exaggerated effects etc. which the original picture may be lacking.
I’ve seen that. Not without interest but not what I do. I only use the tone and colour automatic balance. Sometimes I adjust light, up or down, depending on the exposition.
I do the same thing and sometimes convert them into HDR photos – it is quite obvious that they have been processed and not always appear better 🙂
I stay away from HDR. Probably because I don’t understand it well… 😉
I particularly don’t like their effects on clouds – making it very silky and unreal.
Very true.
HDRs use light frequencies which are not seen by us, so they are logically unreal 🙂

The one on top.
Thanks, people seem to like color rather than monochromatic 🙂
Top one. Like the color.

Wonderful.
Thank you 🙂
Definitely top!
Wow, everyone opted for the top one despite it is a bit blur!
First one!!
Thanks for expressing your preference 🙂
First one.
Thank you; I also like the top one more 🙂
The top
I have to agree with you 🙂
Top one
Thank you, David 🙂
The first.
Thanks for the opinion; it seems, so far, everybody prefer the first 🙂
Both are interesting. They “say” different things.
You are quite right.

Makes sense.

The first one is best I think.
Thank you, Leigh 🙂
You are welcome.
