To Edit or Not to Edit

that is the question:
Whether ’tis nobler of the photographer to suffer
The colors and tones of in-camera processing,
Or to take arms against a sea of washed out colors,
And by over-editing, end them?

I could go on, but I shall spare you.
(to die! to sleep!…. )
(is it little wonder I like Shakespeare! SO NEEDLESSLY DRAMATIC!)
(I mean really…sleep or die? those are the options? that’s all you have?)
(Okay, yes, I know, they were metaphors, but still….)
(more parenthetical asides? I got them cheap on ebay!)

Note (finally, she might be serious?): I BELIEVE this MIGHT be my childhood wagon? With my mom and dad you just never know…. they could have got it at a garage sale or purchased it at a car swap meet to help drag around piles of other rusty stuff? I know we DID have a wagon like this…so maybe? At any rate, it is filled with dirt because my mom now uses it as the dirt hauler for wandering around the back yard and filling in the holes her zany dog has dug. Rumor is the dog has “outgrown” the hole digging thing, but I found another one out there tonight…so I’m not really buying what my mom is selling…
Note2: Could I possibly have edited this more?? I posted both the edited version and the straight-out-o’-the-camera version just for kicks and giggles so ya’ll can compare and give me a shout out on which you prefer — over-edited or under-whemling. I leave the call up to you.
Note3: Note2 is a not-so-subtle hint to leave a comment.
