I just saw another guy who shot the same sunset. I was inspired to reprocess mine as the original didn't look right.

Criticism is very welcome. I am still having a hard time doing this shot. :(

Seems to me to be just a little over saturated. This spot seems to be quite popular and naturally beautiful, and in my opinion, doesn't need much help from us "mere mortals". Nice shot.

Too saturated for my tastes. I'd love to see this shot in a more natural state.

Thanks for the feedback. Here is another version.

Thoughts?

this is way overcooked for my tastes as well

I like it. Makes me think of a scene out of 'What Dreams May Come'. Looks like an oil painting.


If steroids are illegal for athletes, should PS be illegal for models?

Beautiful shot. I think I like the second one a bit more, but I am admittedly a fan of vibrant colors.

Personally, I think you made the best of a tough lighting situation, and I like the way you processed it. Almost fantasy like, just like the area boasts. KUDOS.


Have plenty of Canons, enough ammo, enough to blow 'em to "L". Now, I just have to learn to aim.
