A process

I have heard it said that processing of images is evil, or that it is necessary to display artistic intent.

I understand the processing argument. That this is a medium that demands interaction and to process involves a higher level of interference. But what if the image is offered pure? Is it somehow wrong to want to better perhaps the lighting, or the composition that may be busy, and use imaging software to do so? Maybe the exposure is not quite right? Sure, you could insist on the right set-up for the day but then why not use every avenue available to you to change that?

This sunset is offered to you pure. Aside from my computer making it a JPEG nothing he happened. Is that good or bad!?
