Post Processing good or bad?

Again it depends. If your a journalist photographer you shouldn't  materially modify the screen you photographed. That said many of the pictures you've seen of the civil war were dragged. The Life magazine the photo of a motorcyclist surrounded by beer bottles was likely stagged.

So even journalistic photographs have been "post (sic) processed". All that has really changed are the tools. Digital images and processing software.

So it's OK to replace a sky our other background, change the color of clothes, of vehicle, ... But just you can there are times to shouldn't. Only you the photographic artist can make the choice. Let your moral compass be your guide.
