Most photographers (at least folks who own Mac Photos) will enhance photos if they know how. Their iPhones may not provide stellar imagery, but then again, the photo software used on Macs isn't exactly PhotoShop. Yet, without the amazing effects that PS has, Mac Photos will enhance an image adequately so that it makes a previously complex or lifeless image tighten up focus and draw attention to the item itself, even creating a vignette with shadows and darkening around the edges (my preferred manner of editing).
It's comparable to posting an image of someone patting a dog. What about the image are you trying to draw attention to? The dog smiling? The hand? Both? The immediate background? Good photo editing is necessary to focus on the subject in question so the viewer is drawn in and can identify what you're trying to convey with the image.
If some noise reduction, image sharpening or definition will improve the image, why not? Your eyes close up are likely better than what the camera will capture, and if not, why the issue? Photo editing is designed to reveal not only beauty but imperfections as well. Just so you're not using PS to cover up any imperfections, which would be false representation.
Women spend inordinate money on cosmetics that cover up imperfections so they will look more beautiful to you. A camera and photo editing can be both a blessing and a curse, but its important that what you see is what you get, not something that was enhanced to remove imperfections, like cosmetics do. (And yes, your wife or GF will thank you when you say that she has natural beauty...)
