Photography is an art form and it doesn't change that whether its edited or not.
To say that you dont edit your photos and to the people who are "anti editing" have you ever developed your own film and developed prints? There are different ways to develop film which change the way the negative looks, there are different ways to print to change the appearance. It is near to impossible to recreate "identical" prints with a home developing kit i.e darkroom, enlarger, chemicals..and that's what I love about b&w film photography. All camera's take photos with their manufacturer's underlying settings and technological design so in effect the digital photographs are pre edited to how the manufacturers and designers want it to look like :p This is not to say all photos should be post-processed and I try not to cause it is very time consuming but a photograph is the photographers final product not the raw template which is taken at the moment.
Long live film but I also hope digital gets better and better.
There is absolutely no shame in post processing...what would landscape photography be if the original film photographers didnt want to "burn" or "dodge" their prints to make their masterpieces because "it wasn't as it looked"? would be a tad boring
Not criticising but noting my humble opinion
