Hi guys.

I've been experimenting and trying a few different approaches to my processing technique recently.

I find myself increasingly shifting away from pushing the data as hard as will allow. This tends to be the convention when going for as much detail as possible. But I think it renders an image devoid of some kind of warmth and realism as might be seen when visually appraising the subject. By that, I mean, how it would appear in the real world...to one's eyes.

What I find myself attracted to these days is a more gentle processing where the appeal is based on more 'natural' looking processing.

It's becoming increasingly about developing an 'aesthetic'.

What do you think, and what's important to you?
