Thanks Austin! I guess the “value” of any given photo is in the appeal that it has to the individual viewer. I find value in a photo that is both beautiful and natural looking. In this case, I find the manipulated image with the reversed sky more attractive so in my mind it’s a better and “more valuable” photo. Perhaps to others the “value” has more to do with knowing that the photo is as close as possible to being exactly as it was seen in person. As a self described “type of purist” do you find this photo less appealing and less valuable now that you know the sky was reversed?
