Nature is the best artist, designer and sculptor. But only an experienced maestro knows how to handle this omnipotent "instrument". He absolutely does not need color correction, toning and other retouching in a graphics editor. After all, you can take a picture of a butterfly against the background of a sunset so that natural light will do all the design work on its own.
