whats the first thing you say when you look at an image in a magazine --usually its wow, thats awesome, or something along those lines..
you dont say, hey, that image was enhanced or photoshopped--
its the image thats important, not whether or not something was done to it..
we all know what the pages of playboy look like---each and every image in magazines has some type of enhancement done to it--do we look at that image differently knowing that that model doesnt REALLY look that GOOD IN REAL LIFE ??? No, so why is it different when its an image of a fish, crab , coral or whatever...
its the subject, color,clarity etc that makes us say' wow' not the enhancements done to the image..if the enhancements make the image better--then great..
and should'nt NJRC want to have that 'WOW' image on its home page ???
there should be a required image size and subject matter ( for calendar issue ) these should be the 2 basic things needed for an image--enhancements should'nt make a difference---
