To edit, or not to edit

I submitted a photo recentley that has me perplexed. I have been taking photographs for about 30 years, and I worked in a photo lab for sometime too (strictly black and white). I have taken pictures that I thought needed to be "cleaned up" to make them look better. But I was also taught that when you take a picture, you get what was there (working with 35mm film). Thus making the individual concentrate on each picture to get it right. But now that I have a digital camera, and I guess the possibilities are limitless. I have absolutley no software to alter/edit any of my photos. I have people telling me that I should alter/edit one of my photos, but I can't bring myself to do it. I guess if I had the software to change the photo, and I tried to alter it, maybe that would change my mind. But I also feel that changing the photo is not the right thing to do. I am considering removing the photo all together. If I thought the photo was junk, I would have never submitted it. I don't think bad of any one who alters/edits their own photos, I just don't feel comfortable doing that to my own photos. What do you think?

What you get isn't always what you see.
