Of course, but if you say:
"Not proud of any of these images, per se, but I was delighted with the opportunity."
And that is exactly what I meant
I was delighted with the opportunity, but knew going into it that they were not perfect images.
I already know I didn't have a flush plane-of-focus on any of them, that the time of day was bad, as far as light goes, and that it was windy.
I know enough not to try to make a silk purse out of a pig's ear, lol
However, I *also* know it is possible to simply enjoy the opportunity to see something cool ... so I was still delighted with the find.
Yes, it is editing but so, essentially, was the work of Ansel Adams, whose "compositions" are much admired.
I was not trying to create a "work of art," but to share a find.
One has to have the sense to know the difference
Words, words, words! It's the image that matters.

So sayeth the man without a color-calibrated monitor ... and who didn't edit-out bug feces on a leaf in one of his own images
Harold, if I represent a piece as "art," you will know it.
The photo will be taken with a tripod, remote switch, and with perfect light.
As I said in the beginning, these photos were hand-held taken in the wind in mid-day.
It was just the first time I'd ever seen the species, so I thought I would share.
