"Reality leaves a lot to the imagination." __ JOHN LENNON
I often push the realities I photograph … and when I really think about it… photos, paintings, all graphic art … are simultaneously "pictures that represent reality, but are themselves, a separate reality."
I think it was the author E.H. Gombrich who wrote …
"If you take a bite out of a painting of a bowl of fruit … it will taste more like any other painting than … a bowl of fruit."
Any way … here is where I pushed reality to earlier today.

Push back if you feel like it.
Awesome, on every level.
Very nice! I am afraid I am still a ways from this.

Not nearly as far away as you think.
I'm still going to work on my composition awhile more. I want to be happier with it. Also my Photoshop Elements a bit. For instance the Hummingbird was brown in reality and through my lens (I used the 70mm to 210mm lens on all of them), but when lightened the picture up (it was in a shadow) it came up more grey. I have to play with that some more.
Set the while balance on the camera to the lighting condition you shoot in; or set to AUTO make corrections in Adjust Color>Hue>Saturation.
I assume you meant white balance. I have it set to auto. That's where I usually leave it by default.
White balance ... Right.
That is a masterpiece Mac.
I am flattered; thank you.
As I see it, your editing experimentation stretches your, and other's, view of reality. Doing that increases our sensibility.
Good night; more tomorrow.
