Do I saturate/vibrate my pictures too much? I'd love to hear your advice!

[QUOTE="jbarket, post: 796297, member: 82187"] I don't think supersaturating an image is necessarily a bad thing, but I think it has limitations and applies better to some objects than others. In my [I]personal[/I] opinion, which should have no impact on your photography, I think there's a stopping point with both that's below full blast, even on shots you want well saturated. Like I said though, subject matter is everything. If I shoot a portrait, I'm likely to do per color saturation adjustments (I use Lightroom, but the concept is similar) and use very little additional saturation/vibrance across the board... otherwise you end up with attack of the carrot people... but if I'm shooting a flower or an inanimate object or the like, I'll probably blow it past reality, even to the point of adjusting the hue slightly in places. If you're really into super saturation and sort of bending the rules, you might look into lomography. A lot of lomo cameras will come out with insane colors. It's really a fantastic effect. Bottom line, like others have said, they're your photos. You can do whatever the **** you want with them. The end product should be for you and nobody else. [/QUOTE]
