I really dislike it when someone takes what could have been a gorgeous, natural photo, and doctors the crap out of it to make it more "colorful" or "Serene". Seriously, people need to stop doing this and learn how to use their cameras. Nature's beauty is already there, you just need to capture it correctly. If you take your images into photoshop and do anything but crop and enhance the equality, you shouldn't call yourself a photographer.

From a digital perspective, it takes so much processing to get from what the camera captures to a final image anyway that I tend to give photographers a little more license.

That is incredible. I have never seen something like this in Crater Lake

That is one of the most amazing images I have ever seen.

Double rainbow. All the way.

Crater Lake is like a karma goldmine on this subreddit, such a beautiful place.

For those calling out photoshop, I'm not so sure. It really looks that awesome up there.
