I don't need to be defended (if that is what anybody is trying to do).
I'm fine with any criticism that comes along and appreciate it when it does (in fact, while taking the King's Canyon pictures I had a conversation with someone, I forget whom, about how I never really trust what people say about photo quality when I put them online since pretty much every photo posted by any person of any quality generates the same ecstatic response).
So, anything actually approaching critique is quite valuable. That's not to say I'll necessarily take it to heart. As I said, most of the photos were tweaked to a view I find desirable since I am the only one looking at them (and I am trying create not a journalistic view of the scene but rather recapture my memory of the scene which isn't journalistic), plus I won't make any claim to any great skill.
If I were less lazy, I would return to the original when sharing online and produce a more understated version for sharing. But I am lazy.
But I do appreciate Kevy's honesty.
