Every picture I take gets loaded into Adobe Lightroom from my Nikon D3300 and most of them get some amount of post processing before I post. Usually nothing heavy just some light tweaks. I am not a professional photographer and probably never will be. Lightroom allows me to express more of my creative side. I guess I figure it is my picture I can apply artistic license to it if I want as long as I specify they have been post processed. :)

Exactly, I was never trying to say edited photos had less artistic value, or were any less impressive. More that I was trying to set me expectations when I keep seeing photos that looks so impressive and wish I saw colors like that, that they might not have been quite that good in person either.
I suck at taking photos, when I was a t the grand canyon, everything came out flat, with no feeling of the depth and magnitude you got from being there.
Yeah, Lightroom has helped me a lot. I have been able to save a lot of pictures that would have been lost due to my poor skills using my camera. I am getting better but starting out was kind of brutal. :)
Good point about ediing your Grand Canyon shots. Lightroom helped with some old pics I took with a point and shoot digital. I recently took a couple shots from 2009 and was able to make a panorama out of them and remove some haze. It was pretty incredible for old shots on a cheap camera. :)
