Tell me, what is the true image of a tree? the deep shadows of a clear summer day, or the subtle contrast and pale hues of an overcast morning? the reddish tint of a normal sunset, the golden tones of a break in the clouds during the 'golden hour' following a rain, or something else altogether? it's the same freaking tree.

Certainly, while many members of this forum seem to go far too trigger-happy on the Saturation slider of their photo editor, sometimes it's simply superior light; and that is something many shooters on this forum simply can't grasp, thinking a successful photograph involves only being in the right place and with the right camera, without regards to being at the right time and quite possibly with the right set of lights.
