What is Reality?


Going through the latest batch of photo magazines made me wonder what is real in photography. The top image has been enhanced in Lightroom, below it is the RAW image. In the era of film a split neutral density and warming filter would have been used to create the top image. I didn't see either of these images only the two similar shapes balancing each other in the frame. The enhancement is only used to emphasize the shapes. Are current images less real than the ones created using multiple glass filters? Some images are just made to look at and not worry about the process.
