Pardon my ignorance as I am a greenhorn in this. Does superficial or artificial (impressive) quality have more significance than originality? Do people usually post-process or tweak their pictures to achieve a more satisfactory or impressive quality? In other words, superficial quality taking precedence over originality.

Lots of photos that lots of people like are post processed to be highly unrealistic (just look at the challenge winners).  I hate that crap.  It's one of many reasons I don't visit the challenges or keep any of the challenge tabs open.  Essentially all of my post processing is driven towards making things look MORE like they looked to my naked eye, not less.
