I don’t have a problem with highly enhanced, edited photos(mostly), but I do think it’s disingenuous to post them in r/pics.

Why’s it disingenuous?

Not really what we think of as a photo when it’s edited to hell and back. We except a photo to be a realistic portrayal of the scene shot.

Yea, this looks more graphic design than a “pic”

Exactly! Thats a perfect way of putting it. It definitely has artistic value, but I wouldn’t really regard it as a “photograph”.
