Why is that so bad when other manipulations, such as inventing new bits of sky, removing unwanted objects, distorting perspective, and so on, seem to be permitted? For a supposedly factual picture, I think that changing the actual content is "worse" than fiddling a bit with the colour balance. 81.159.110.248 (talk) 03:00, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It's not bad in itself, it's just overdone in this case in my opinion. Small tweaks in color balance are fine and not a big deal. Chick Bowen 04:51, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, OK. I would point out, though, that according to the shadows the sun is low in the sky, and I believe that this is contributing to the lighting effect and to the colours, making the colours seem deeper and warmer. 86.169.36.168 (talk) 13:03, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
