I agree with the others. The image looks great outta the camera like that. In my opinion all pictures need some cropping and contrast, and maybe a few other tweaks. That's the way I was taught. I understand not everybody has all the tools that I do. But there are plenty of options out there for post production. There's only one way to learn how to use those tools and that's to get'em out and use them.
When I find a new tool in the program I'm using I always max it out both directions so I can see what it does. Then I fine tune it for each image. Do that with Brightness / Contrast and other tools too. When you start to get the hang of it you'll look back on your older photos and want to start processing those too. I printed my own pictures in college and worked at Ritz Camera after I graduated. I did some image processing when the regular chick went to lunch or whatever. If you give even the most basic of photo-finishing you can really make your pictures pop.
Post production is what most peoples pictures are missing. It's the final touch that sets most photographs apart.
Straight from the camera no adjustments.
I made more than a few adjustments to this one. I just want to show you that with a gentle hand and the right tools you can really bring a picture to life.
We are all here to learn from each other, try new things and go out of our comfort zone with photography. It's all digital now and it's only a waste of time if you walk away from an experiment without learning. I promise you will improve your final images with photo finishing.
