Yes, like all of Ansel Adams photographs. Straight prints of most of his 
negatives were dismal. I've seen many of them! They required a copious 
amount of darkroom massaging in order to become a finished print. Moonrise 
over Hernandez is a sterling example. One exposure before the whole thing 
disappeared. That negative printed as a blah print. It took a Herculean 
effort on Ansel's part to "create" the print we all love.
