>>3675639How about this? Again all processing applied globally, but this is one of those cases where I made an “artistic” decision to make it look “mysterious”.
I could have edited this to make the colors more natural (less green, more blue, more reds).
Would you still say that this isn’t heavily edited?
I feel like I can get away more with editing underwater photos since not a lot of people have an idea of what things really look like underwater, I’m able to cover it with my own flavor and generally people won’t think twice, one would just assume “oh so that’s what it looks like, cool”.
Whereas in normal photos, people are very familiar with how things are, how light and color behaves, etc.
I love my UW photos. I absolutely loathe all other photos I take, I usually end up turning them into B/W because I don’t have that creative freedom UW gives me.
