I was never a stoner, but TJ's first photo certainly was pretty. It would make a good computer screen saver.
Shorty's fish are beautiful too! But, the enhanced photo is better.
I actually think it probably portrays the fish closer to what our eyes really see on a very live wet fish.
I was sent to a US Navy 6-week photography school 40+ years ago. It was so I could take unexciting black and white photos of electronic equipment and installations that I worked on or investigated.
Sometimes it was after a disaster, like a fire or shrapnel hit. Yet, our instructors taught us that photographers should always have artistic latitude in their work behind the camera and in the photo darkroom.
Somehow, I don't think the curmudgeons, who were many pay grades above me, or in congress, would have approved of me bringing back photos like this to liven up an otherwise very dull communications system:
Dang, you sure clean up nicely! I promise this will not affect our friendship in any way. I'm open minded and support your decision to become Ken, Kendra.
