a daily photo from joshua l. smith
art is subjective
I don’t ever shy away from editing an image from cropping to color correction to contrast; I almost never show an image before editing.
But every once in a while a scene presents itself that needs no editing, like this one. I did crop this, my lens simply didn’t have the reach for the crop that I wanted; and of course, I changed it to black & white. Some won’t like this image, even more will find an aspect to critique; and that’s fine, after all art is subjective.
