Very nice comparison there Mike,
It is good for people to appreciate the difference and not get a false impression of what can be seen visually.
But the processed image is bringing out detail that is there but not picked up by our human eye. Although the colour as you know can alter according to what process is used.
I think each individual like an artist adds their taste or flavouring to the image and some will like and others dislike.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I like both your images because they show two different aspecs 1=visual 2=processed.
Well done.
