You're quite right Soup, + I was staunch no-post-processing until fairly recently, as I wanted to just concentrate on straight photography. I still do want to get things right in-camera but am still learning - I have a lot of theory straight in my head, but not much chance to get the practice unfortunately - and this batch of landscapes I've uploaded over the last few days are an old lot I took last summer. I thought I could make something of them, but agree with you that the composition is all wrong, so decided they gotta be good for something = learning image manipulation on, which I now want to learn as well
Thanks for your comment, + now that my little one has started pre-school, I should (theoretically) have more time to spend on photography, so that you should see a bit of improvement in my composition in the not too distant future
