You Hit The Nail On The Head
[QUOTE=CookyJar;2202564]When I started posting photographs on this site, the images was basically untouched. Over the years I made technical changes in the methods I used while editing. There have been many reasons why I choose to made changes. Most of the changes were a matter of personal preferences and others had to do with the desires and wants of others.
Recently my editing technical preferences were possibly the cause of a fellow ******'s dissatisfaction with one of my subjects. In an effort to clarify, I am going to show the before and after modifications used in editing the photographs I post.
Understand that I will not be changing what I do. The editing effects that I use are both pleasing to me and the subjects I photograph. I do not feel that the alterations caused by the effect is enough to hamper the decision making procession of the average discriminating ******. The effects I use are both simple and quick. Cropping, lighting, darkening and other modifications that once had to be done individually can now be done with a single key stroke.
Judge for yourself if the editing effect of the below sample pictures, recently taken, are enough to make Deena an undesirable target.
Deena Camera raw is non-edited, just as the camera saw her. Deena 57 is edited, using a photo editing effect.
[B]Do the slight alterations make all that much of a difference?[/B]
CookyJar.[/QUOTE]You are so right. Too many guys think that if you take a photo with a digital camera, your image will look exactly like what you saw. Nothing could be further from the truth. At best, you will get what some Chinese engineer thinks you should see. At worst, you will get something that looks nothing like what you saw. Almost every photo needs some sort of adjustment. At the least, you have to reduce the size of the photo so that you can upload it. Like you, I shoot in camera raw because it give me complete control over my photos. I usually shoot with two Nikkor SB-700 external flashes in a $20.00 hr notel. Despite the strong flash units, there is usually enough crappy ambient light to give the photos a color cast. Since I really don't like green skin, I usually adjust the white balance to give the photos a warmer look. I usually cut back the exposure a little to get a little more saturation. When I'm satisfied, I then give the photo my-"horrors"-the soft focus look. Some guy in Cincinnati complained that my soft focus photos were gross and a turn off. I basically told him that I use soft focus for one reason and one reason alone. I fucking like it! So I post what I like. Apparently, there are a few guys who also like what I like. But if you use a digital camera, WYSIWYG is seldom true.
Glockman, I look forward to your photos

I think anyone and everyone who takes the time and makes the effort to post photos and videos is enhancing the value of this site. Let's face it, many people will read every line posted by other Mongers. However, there is still going to be a substantial percentage of guests and members who are here mainly for the photos. I like both. Glockman you take photography to another level and your effort and the extra time I imagine it takes you to set up some of those shots is appreciated as well. As far as the signature soft focus you use I, again, like it. I don't need every photo I look at on this site to be in High-count-the-pubic-hairs-Definition.
Sorry if I sounded a little bitchy
[QUOTE=Watnow78;2212552]LMAO. I should have posted my comment is the Joke and Humorous Stories section. Then I might have gotten a laugh or two. Wasn't trying to insult you or your lady friend, just simplyobserving when she was bent over. Whats life without a little humor?[/QUOTE]Maybe I was being a little, let's say, sensitive. I knew you were joking. I didn't get the reference. Still don't! What does a goat have to do with pussy? I understand that you are trying to comment on her abundant pubic hair, but why a goat? Goats aren't particularly hairy. Are they?
Actually, I think that some guys, who crave shaved pussies, get a little confused when they see the real thing. LOL.

[QUOTE=CookyJar;2101382]Under the definition of Minx: [I] An alluring, cunning, or boldly flirtatious girl or young woman. Has unusual seductive powers such that she could commit acts that would otherwise be considered inappropriate, while still maintaining an air of class or poise.[/I].
Is a picture of Deena.
CookyJar.[/QUOTE]IMHO, Deena is a beauty. She provides good service. And! She is reliable. Enough said.

Most people shoot with a camera phone or a Kodak. They are happy with anything they get. Over-exposed, under-exposed, washed-out, out of focus or in focus as long as they have a picture, they're happy. They have no idea the crap we see and what we do to get the final results. It's like they believe we have a portable studio or something, runway models and an endless bank account.
I always maintain the integrity of my subjects, while adhering to my own artistic taste.

P.S.: Deena is a hottie with a nice body.
