I want like to learn.
I just found this "room" and I assume it is different than images posted in the "Gallery".
I hope this is a place to learn from others. Where discussion can help add to each of our skills.
I just wonder, I am in the right place or is there another area just for (only) learning about composition
and editing?

I know there is no such thing as a right way to take photos. So suggestions, I expect, are all that are
offered. The subject is the image, composition and editing, never the person.
I prefer natural lighting. (my view point). I avoid flash - it changes the ambiance of what I am seeing.
Is there a way to take photos in dimly lit rooms without flash?
A lot of the photos I see today are over edited to make very impressive scenes.
Examples: replacing sky, or adding a near-by image that was not in the original shot, etc.
Certainly there is nothing wrong with cropping and straightening the image.
I assume the flash shots are original, without editing.
It is/would be nice if postings in this area include the original image in the post.
Or if the post is the original image (without editing) to state that fact.
To learn, I need to see the original and the edited versions.
Ugly Hedge Hog is a great place. I like the discussions. I just thought
it might be nice to have an area where new skills could be acquired,
that is just focused on the art of image composition and editing
( camera hardware has its place, but I hope it might be set aside in this part of the forum).
If this is not the right area let me know.

Don't be so fast to dismiss flash. Bounced flash gives very natural looking light, and allows higher shutter speeds, more depth of field, or lower ISO.
