I looked at all your images here. so far, you did not Photoshoped them to death ( like many pBasers do), but actually revived the dead ones. Some times it is very tempting to over color saturate with CS5, but you stood the temptation. As long as you do not modify reality you are OK. Good job!

Excellent work, very good gallery, well done. I don't normally edit my pictures, but some of these pics look better after post.

Very good idea for a gallery, Barry. It would have been nice to know more about every single procedure as well.

Barry, thanks for posting this. I am always asking myself this question, and it's very interesting to see what others think about post-processing.

I think that the last one steps and doors is cropped a wee bit too much Love the others because you got rid of the blacks in the water and on the plane and the man's hair. From an artists point of view black is a dead color and one of the first thing you are taught is never use it in a painting. The majority of people like paintings and color images without black.

I rather agree with Joe, especially with regards to the T-6, you did a glorious job bringing out the polished aluminum, reds and yellow without having the whites go too high. Personally, for me, I would call the prespective in Steps Doors and Laundry a definate "too much", but I applaud you on how well you made the shift! All in all, we set our own limits between creativity and manipulation; you seem to have found that place for you. Well Done!!

Nothing you've done here would be "too much" for me. Particularly the middle 3, which needed the work done to bring out the hidden details. Nice job on all of them. The plane is most impressive to me.
