This one was quite heavily post-processed, but it just wasn't very interesting au naturel.I don't usually like to mess with my images; I prefer to take naturalistic shots that look good as they are, but sometimes there's no substitute for tweaking if you want a certain look.
I do happen to like this photo quite a lot now. The adjustments definitely add a new dimension to the image rather than cover up any inadequacies. The source RAW was the best of the series, and properly exposed (so I started off with a solid image.)
Of course post-processing should not be used as an excuse to take just any old crappy photo. That's like the photographic equivalent of auto-tuning a bad singer!
Rubbish in, rubbish out...
