[Leica] IMGS: Zoroastrian Fire Temple

[John McMaster]

I have no doubt you are right, just the second is too manipulated for a photographer to like IMO.... Can you not see quite a large difference between the two?

OK, Guys -

This is what I am competing with:

You have to stand out in the crowd if you are going to attract buyers.

Here is the original photo, straight from the camera, converted to jpeg:

Here is the same photo, processed in Color Efex Pro with the saturation at
6 (I also took out somebody's shoulder in the bottom right - shades of
McCurry!!):

View at Original.  I don't think the differences are that great, but the second one will sell better than the first.  I guarantee it.
