  1. Yes
Rodeo season upon us here in my state been asked to photograph 2.
Media pass provides better access/open access.
Basically sell enough to cover fuel not much else mostly barrel racers.

Mostly the iso is at the high end 25600

Anyway got to thinking, culling the basic editing and then maybe extra touch up on the best images which is subjective.
Does the "perfect image perfect edit" really matter to buyers, yes those with photographic eye notice but others do they really care if its slightly overdone with noise or could be more saturated etc etc? I prefer to under edit.

Unless one does fine art or weddings where perfection is the goal, but generally other genre is 90% good enough compared to the 100% image if that makes sense? All takes time.

Im not talking putting up crap images just pursuit of the final touches.

One rodeo did a cull then a bulk basic edit of 300 images then asked if anyone wants more touching up a extra $20 all the images purchased were basic edit none to the extra quality option.
 
I think if you nail focus, color editing isn't over-board, and the composition is interesting then it's a keeper (or seller). Only a photographer would look beyond that.
 
A guy sent me an image last night with compression issues cant help but notice the chequered pattern. Photographers see faults maybe??
