I like what you have to say

Woop, what a yellow boost! As Hugues puts it, there are many choices incorporated in the final picture, not just the editor’s.

What about the final outcome?

My “preference” depends on cases across the 12-images list. Basically, the yellow/orange tones present these mineral and vegetal sets as vibrant, moving beings – figures illustrating a Gaia hypothesis.

So, it’s art (as opposed to nature) – art by the editor, not just the photographer and his material.

Who should be the judge?…

As far as I know, according to the French understanding of “droit moral”, the editor should not be allowed to modify the original picture without some explicit agreement of the author. (I ignore whether it is actually applied implemented this way).

“Autre moralité” : I should open bright eyes while wandering. Not rely too much on calendars

You can also add in the context that the photo industry is participating at the source at this reality subtle subversion: the jpg that are provided by digital camera are often skewed toward more saturation. For example, if you take a semi-pro canon camera, the jpg format will be more warm that the RAW format. Kodak has been doing it forever in their argentic times.
