This is a photo of a local viand dish called "Tocino" an invented word for this sweet tender preserved fried meat with an attractive red color. (Photo with effects on)

This is a piece of fried "Yellow Tail Fusilier Fish" or Dalagang Bukid in my local language.
I am always making my own photography of what is available for me to make a photos of and I usually either make the pictures look better by using an "HDR" shot but it turns out to be not looking natural, like for example you can see the difference with the photo of the Mango slices and also the sweet ham that I took a photo with. They are at least for me a decent-looking photos but I used a warm effect for one and a natural unfiltered for the other.
I forgot that there is also a 100% AI processing but nonetheless the one with no filter whatsoever of if AI did a processing on it worked but the color of the subject is more natural than the one with a "warm" color filter. My Smartphone also has a "Dazzling color" feature and what it does is that it makes the color more profound and a bit intense than what your eyes would normally see in person. But I am torn about making the photograph look better and making it look natural-looking because if I would make the subject look natural, it would not look much attractive or better-looking.
That is why I often use the dazzling color effect feature of my Smartphone while doing my Photographs using my Smartphone to sort of make it basically look good when I blog it out here. I know the value of true colors and even making some subtle changes about the "temperature" of color of the photos will also make it look unnatural but makes a big difference about the quality of the photos by making it look better subjectively.
But what really is a good photo? The one with no filter whatsoever and looking like dull and uninteresting or to artificially make it look nice by making the colors intense but it is all non-existent beauty like what a make-up does to a plain woman's face for example which makes the subject person beautiful but without make-up, they look like Mahatma Gandhi. I mean do we have to beautify things all the time or take the scene or subject's real colors as they were?
What is the real image of a thing? it is because we judge the image by looking at it with the pertinent tool of our bodies which are our eyes. For me a sharper the image is with full details, the better it is and my reason is my faulty eyes because they had "seen better days" with the fun accidentally given there lol, and I know that what I am seeing with my own eyes are not really the real image of what I am seeing around me now thanks to being in front of my laptop screen ever since I bought it with my Steemit earnings from around October 2017, my largest investment but it is all worth it, my laptop still works but also, it had seen better days and I hope to replace this laptop but I want it to be repaired too with its screen and back cover with a working battery because I took off its battery as it had swollen already.
Anyway I will just continue to experiment on my photography and I might not use extra effects when I get a better Camera phone soon although the images coming from it will be much sharper than usual because I want to buy the Oneplus 13 because of its Battery type and chipset being improved. However, the brand that I wanted to purchase was still not being offered globally because Oneplus 13 might offer it here in my country next year but I really wanted it now because I haven't yet replaced my first Smartphone ever since I bought it about seven years ago until I purchased this second-hand Oppo phone that I am using right now. So we all have to contend with my kind of photos that I am posting but anyway they still convey messages and more often it is the thoughts inside that counts.
