My friend said all the best cloud photos are edited. Made me realize maybe we're missing the point.

Right, because the sky's personal branding needs a filter to be valid. It's just funny how we've gotten to a place where a raw, natural moment isn't good enough unless we tweak the contrast. The whole point of a cloud photo, for me at least, is that brief feeling of wonder when you look up. If you edit it into something totally different, you're just making digital art, which is cool too, but maybe call it that.

But sometimes the edit just brings back that feeling you actually had.
