Subtle is Nice Too

Whispy Sky

Whilst it's true that more colour and contrast can often improve an image there is no such thing as one-size-fits-all. This bit of sunset sky, for example, was a very soft scene. To be successful as an image required soft processing. In this case it means an image whose tones are all compressed around a small area near the centre of the tonal range. To maximise the contrast on this image would be to destroy it.
