Update: My photo editing style caused a split in our camera club

I shared some portraits where I boosted the colors a lot, and now our club is divided. Half the group says vivid edits make photos pop and catch the eye better. The other half, including some older members, think natural tones are more honest and lasting. For instance, my sunset shot with enhanced reds got tons of likes online but criticism in person. The natural side says over-editing dates your work and hides real skill. I like both looks, so I'm stuck in the middle on this. What's your take? Should we go bold with colors or keep it real?
