the software is cleverer than I am

[HansV]

But you create the shot and select the processing...

[John Gray]

Far too much scenery in that picture...!

Quit hazing Ken!

[BobH]

I take a dim view of hazing.

Are you sure that's not a heat wave from 1905? The sepia tones have really kicked in!

Here's a version that is closer to what the view actually looked like. There's still a fair bit of artistic license in there as well though, for example the high tension pylon and cables are missing

Some people say the prefer the raw picture. However,,, the raw picture is what any application is processed to show.

...the raw picture is what any application is processed to show.

As so it has always been, even in the days of film. Whoever controlled the chemistry of the development process, a processing lab or yourself in your own darkroom, controlled the final image.

Similarly today, whoever controls the conversion of the bits from the digital sensor to a human viewable image determines the final image.

Yes... agree...

I've come across a number of people who say that they prefer the raw image with *** no processing *** ignoring that the processing has already been performed! Aaaaand it's difficult to convince them of that!!!

...Aaaaand it's difficult to convince them of that!!!

That's because as Arthur C Clarke's famously said:
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic"
