Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The artist creates beauty (or his concept of it). Abstract expressionist artists create what they perceive as beauty. Why limit the photographer from expressing his own personal idea of the beauty in a scene?
As the comedian Gallagher used to say. You can put two sticks together and tie them and some idiot will come along and buy it! haha. (Or was it George Carlin?) anyway it was one of them. (and its the truth)

There are different kinds of photography. Journalistic/documentary , which gives what the eye and camera sees. Then there is art that offers an interpretation of what the mind sees.
Think of journalism. One form reports what actually occurred, and another form reports what the journalist wants it to be.
If you play golf there is a similarity, how may strokes did you take vs how many strokes you thought it should have taken you.

Ultimately if you choose not to manipulate your photos, that is up to you. Some people like to add or subtract from a photo. If you get a great photo from what the camera sees-good. That said, some photo contests indicate they will not accept manipulated photos.

In this case I like what the camera saw.
I don't and that is more important. A noon photograph should look like it was taken at noon.

I didn't see a time stamp on the photo.

SOOC or "uncooked"
Cooked to perfection

A camera, any camera, sees differently than the eyes. For that matter your eyes see differently that any one elses eyes. If you don't like what your camera sees, don.t use it and do something different with your time and money

I think that for the most part the SOOC group believe they are more skilled because they only show images that aren’t a deviation from what was there when the shutter was squeezed. That doesn’t show skill, it’s a demonstration of a technical ability. What they do show (again for the most part) instead is a lack of imagination and post processing skills with a high tolerance for the boring.

Ever notice how someone comes on and stirs the pot with a controversial statement and never comes back and explains his or hers reasoning!!!

I don't like overcooked images either. But I shoot in RAW and post process 98% of the time. It lets me decide what is "natural" looking, not the camera engineers.

SOOC works. I'm not saying it couldn't be better with some extra touch ups but I'm fine without it.
