FeaturePics: We have met two kinds of photographers: the ones that believe that a picture should be "good enough" as shot and others that use filters and image manipulation with Photoshop or some other software to get a better/corrected result. Which group do you believe is "right" in regards to the way a photograph is presented?

Gil: Photography is a form of art and I think it would be appropriate for the photographer to present his images according to his unique vision. Each photographer should decide for himself how much and in which way he prefers to manipulate or process his work. There is also the question of the purpose of the images. If we're talking about photojournalism the photos must be as close to reality as possible. However, in the case of fine art or a work for a client with certain needs, there is much more freedom in the possibilities of processing and manipulation. We have to remember that the camera is just a tool and different cameras can yield different results in color, tone and in other parameters. Those results are never the same as seen by our eyes. Therefore a minimal post processing is usually required. In my personal work I avoid manipulating my images in a way of adding elements that were not originally there, and when needed I usually process just in the degree of color and tonality
