Dirty little secret....

Photoshop is my friend.

There, I said it.

I edit my photos.  Almost all of the photos I put on here, have been edited in some small way or another.  I've spent much of the last year tweaking how I edit, and finding my own style.  While I've learned to embrace the more muted hazy tones on some, I still always snap right back to a nice, clean edit.

Here's where your help comes in.  It seems everywhere I look, I see heavily edited photos.  Now, I do think there is a time and place for all editing styles, but as I said...I'm looking for my style, and I'm curious which style is preferred by the masses.

Here is a series...it was a quick snap, last October, at a little church pumpkin patch.  This one is the straight out of the camera, un-edited version:


Style #1


Style #2


Which do you prefer?
