>>2913113I'm of the same opinion senpai. Too much colour and contrast just makes the image look plain fake. The point of editing for me has always been to accentuate a photo just enough to give it a quality that you'd otherwise miss out on. It's a fine balance between keeping that realistic look whilst giving it an 'atmospheric' feeling.
Pic related is an example of what I find to be a good balance. Bottom is edited.
