RE: Here is another one...

Point taken. I will crop some photos but I try not to do much else. The Pro was telling me to get the camera working right with white balance, color balance, exposure and so forth..... I really dislike digital photos that are heavily doctored. You can see it in the edges of objects or if someone does an HDR for effect... I think those look awful.

I think getting the photo right at exposure, should be the goal. We shouldn't be totally reliant on post processing for doctoring everything to "taste". Getting white balance right, is easy. Color balance is not hard to do either. With all the menu controls built into the cameras these days, we should use them and get things right.

Having said all of that... That Boxer dog portrait photo with the 85mm f1.4G lens is about as far as I go. Cropped and I ran it through Dxo Film Pack and converted it to one of the famous B&W films. Can't remember if it was a Kodak or an Ilford film but it gave the dog portrait a nice complimentary film grain and contrasty definition.

We obviously have different MO's. Which is fine.
