Hi!
Good photography is good photography.
Period.
Bad photography is fixing it later, whether through large amounts of
darkroom manipulation, or massive amounts of Photoshopping (Sorry Tony, I
know it isn't a verb).
Don't know if this helps or not, and I am sure that some will disagree,
but
they are probably adept at salvaging junk via Photoshop.
Strive to do as little post processing as possible, accept that this stuff
is work, and be thankful that with digital, all it costs is your time (the
most precious commodity you have).
Mister Robb, you're absolutely right.
Tim, excellent write up... So you have The Eye - good for you... Do show us
some more birds...

I'm not quite sure what Bill was trying to say. I agree, I think.
However, Photoshop and other image editors are often used with the exact
same goals as wet darkroom techniques. Junk is junk of course, but I'm not
sure he meant to imply that post-capture processing is to be avoided. I
rather tend to to think it is to be embraced as a means to getting the most
out of the good exposures that were made.
In fact in the digital age, shooting RAW, it's almost necessary, IMO.
