Better than several pages of people childishly trashing each other.

Nice article, enjoyed it, and I agree with much of what you said ... but! I have a nit to pick. I noticed several typos, not surprising in a long article, but one repeated one that needs comment. The use of the word "allot" to mean many. Allot means to distribute officially, or to share portions of something, etc. To mean many of something should be "a lot of" something or other.

Thank you for your comment, JohnSwanda.
UHH-ers are mostly knowledgeable and polite and I learn much from them.
But there are a few pricklies who exist mainly to post negative unhelpful comments. They must have had awful childhoods. Those people represent the "U" in UHH.

Yes, post processing is a big part of photography. However, today's software now allows much greater abilities and artistic freedoms. The rub generally comes in where one draws the line and a photo becomes "overprocessed." This too is a personal evaluation and choice, make what you want, but realize that others don't always see your vision as you do and each has an opinion as to where they draw their own line. There will always be this judgement call and this is the root of the criticism from both ends of this controversy. There will always be those that push the limits and those that take a minimal approach and each has merit. We all just need to be a bit more tolerant of others vision and efforts wherever they decide to draw their own line.

Post production is OK until it starts to look unnatural. You have all seen them, photographs that look like paintings or modern art.
Unless that is what you are going for. If the artistic vision is unreal or "unnatural", that is what it is.

That has always been the case since the beginning of photography. It isn't new with digital/software.
