Photo editing - the dilemma

-
Don't you find yourselves facing a dilemma what kind of editing you will do to an image? I know I do! Although the approach and the style is usually already set in mind during time of shooting, still the question of how much editing a photo needs can arise.

I personally try to do just the essential and address the immediate needs of a photo - but what do you do when you want to make something more artistic? I think the artist should do as he feels and just go for it - although here I should say "without overdoing it!" - since sometimes there are some photos in which you cannot see the photo anymore among all the editing!

Also one pretty common problem is that you get stuck with a style. It happens to everyone I guess ( or else I just hope) cause surely it happens to me. Well try to vary styles and try out new techniques - read blogs and tutorials and simply take bits and pieces of ideas and apply them to your images and see how they work out - well the sky is the limit.

Greed is seriously hindering us Maltese from realizing, that our past, which includes these old roads, old buildings and other items the 'modern' Maltese sees as unpractical and passé, are actually the things tourist come for and we are simply cutting the hand that actually feeds us.   Still...
