Certainly NOT my intent.  I enjoy looking at travel pictures... Yours, 
especially, but also Nathan's and Jay's, to name just 2.  I mentioned the 
issue with the colors, only because I felt there was something amiss with 
what I thought the public at large would have seen.  Now that I understand 
the point of showing the particular pictures for content and comsposition, I 
understand that my comment was out of place.

I apologize for interfering with your image flow.

Please do not stop posting: Viewing them is my way of going with you, 
vicariously, to many parts of the world I will never see.

But now it doesn't look like dawn which was the whole point to me.

I have fallen into the trap, again, of trying to adjust my photos to please 
everyone.  I will never get through 16,000 edits at this rate.  Right now, 
all I am doing is going through the photos as quickly as I can and selecting 
those which might merit more detailed work later. I hit Auto in LR to get in 
the ballpark.  LR adjustments are non-destructive and I can go back to the 
untouched photo at any time.  I post the ones I am considering and hope for 
comments on the content and/or composition.  Anything to do with white 
balance, exposure, lifting shadows, suppressing highlights, contrast, 
spotting, sharpening can and will be done much later, after I have finished 
all of the editing.

Maybe I should just post the photos straight from LR with no adjustments at 
all?  Or maybe I should just not post them at all.  It's too discouraging 
and demoralizing.

Thank you,

Tina
