- Photos OK to edit
One thing to bare in mind is that the average person might not comment on the exposure, but its just the same way most won't mention the brush strokes on a painting or the grain of the wood on a sculpture. There are a LOT of subtle elements that combine together to make a photograph (or anything) and many of them will go by totally unnoticed by the average person.
Or rather they will be noticed, but only on the fringes of their attention. It contributes toward it and if you made a mistake on all the little things they would add up. Furthermore any fan who gets more involved will start to see those little things too.
Of course along with that comes personal preference. Some hate to see heavily tone-mapped photos; others love them and some are either way depending on the photo and context.
