I understand perfectly what you are driving at and I have the utmost respect for professionals! But on the other hand, I would be one of those people asking for your RAW images too. Looking at your RAW/edited photos side by side, it’s a mixed bag for me. I think it boils down to what you need the photo for, whether it’ll be used in tandem with others, will stand alone, what medium it goes out on, who the viewers are, etc. I personally find the too obviously edited images a bit disconcerting as they don’t seem quite “real.” Thanks for sharing your thoughts, great photos, and great discussion!
