Exactly and this is the same reason why synthetic humans (ala Poser and even amazing hand modelers) will NEVER look like real humans. We are surrounded by people the way we're surrounded by nature and we can always spot a counterfeit of these - it is in OUR nature - LOL! Postwork is not a sin - that is why I mentioned Ansel Adams. Without it his images would not have the impact they do. Also nature does not have hard angles and even the damn treelab generates them at every crook of a branch. The computer is getting us much closer but post work is what humanizes the image and makes it believeable and enjoyable. I do too - but leave it home just this one time - let your mind and spirit be the camera - this is not about photo reference - do that on another hike. Just allow yourself ONE hike where all you do is walk and SEE. The images that stay with you will far surpass anything photo reference could give you. Try it and you'll see. Scott : )
