Five points in answering; “should an image be edited?”

Ansel Adams’ work is lauded everywhere, though not by everyone. On it’s face its hard to find an artist with a greater impact on his field than Adams’ had on ours. His photographs are awe inspiring, and largely in Black and White. They were instrumental in furthering the conversation on composition and lighting in landscapes. They reached out to a massive audience, calling in wonder to the world about the areas he visited. Most importantly to me, they played a huge role in developing conservationism and awareness of areas near to my heart.
