He is yes; 7 months old now so he's getting pretty big lol. He's started taking over the whole couch and pushing us off if we leave a little gap lol.
Loving the detail in the rapeseed DekHog, my pics always come out a blob of yellow lol.

I know that this is in the landscape section and my offering isn't a landscape . . . but it seems like nobody really minds in this thread anyway 
This was taken for week 2 of my 52 this year for the theme poem / poetry.
The original was shot specifically with the PP for the final shot in mind.

Some of these are amazing. Are there photography snobs who don't agree with post production and think a good photo is good when it's raw or do most photographers do this?

Not snobs about getting it right in camera - that's just common sense. Editing is a matter of taste. I like mine minimal and natural looking. Others love HDR and mono etc.
Interesting thread. not sure its in the right place but I'll leave it here now. Half the edits above look better than the originals to me and half look worse. All of them are right though as they are how the person that took them wants them to look.

Right , heres another then...
Straight out of the camera, barring a resize down to fit forum limits.
And after a little work - bit of cloning, perspective tweaked a little, straightened and cropped, and a wee bit of pseudo-hdr (3 exposures from one original) to try and get a little back in the windows.

This isn't so much a before-and-after landscape...but maybe it will be somewhat instructive. Below are three photos. The first two were used to manufacture the third via Photoshop Elements. (I know from when I first posted the final picture that this "style" isn't for everyone. 
Photo 1: A turkey vulture. Taken with a Nikon 80-400 mm lens at 400mm, f 6.3, ISO 400, 1/1000 sec.
Photo 2: Sky and clouds. Taken with a Nikon 10.5mm fisheye lens at 10.5mm, f9, ISO 200, 1/500 sec. (I frequently take pictures of the sky in a variety of settings that I can later use for other photos.)
Photo 3: Dizzy Bird. Combination of photos 1 and 2, using Photoshop Elements. My goal was to show the bird "hemmed in" by humanity, with nowhere to go. That's why I left the power lines running across the sky instead of cloning them out.

Here's another set...
The first photo is of a train rounding a curve on the tracks. The tracks are banked, so the train appears a bit tilted, and I shot this in RAW, so the colors are rather bland. I liked the basic shot, however, because of the obvious heat distortion caused by the diesel exhaust. The perspective, however, didn't convey the sheer mass of a locomotive.
The second photo is a tight crop of the original (or a later shot in the same burst) with some color saturation and contrast enhancements. I also leveled the train a bit. The intent was to better demonstrate the mass and overwhelming size of the locomotive.

Nice edit Ben!
You've brought out the warm tones nicely that has totally transformed the shot.
Thanks Martin! Was all done with your guidance via PM.

Brilliant thread this, love it. Unfortunately I can't find the original picture right now but here is the finished piece. It was a self portrait piece I did for a 'dark art' comp on Deviant art a few years back.

My apologies, just realised it's a landscape thread sorry this is not a landscape scene!

Never. The original looks to me to be a very strong image.
