A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

I spend way too much time processing the perfect picture... (alien.top)

I do architecture photography. The worse part is that I know the client probably won't notice the difference. How do you know when enough is enough?

Depends!

I have a rule with art photography, wherein I don't allow too many layers without flattening the image. Taught me to learn when enough was enough and to stop second guessing myself.

That said, for my professional work I did have to figure out how much was "enough". And indeed, sometimes small things get noticed. Something I like to do on airplanes is mark up fashion magazines with a sharpie, identifying the lighting setups and other technical aspects of photography. I've seen plenty of technical mistakes in large ad campaigns.
