It's really far too soft. The processing is doing nothing for me. The glamor glow especially, but even the black and white really doesn't appeal to me.

Sorry man, but the processing, composition and overall subject just is not working on this one.

If you want your photos to look like paintings all the time.why not paint?

After having looked at your two posts for critiques plus your comments on another something occurs to me. On the comment you left on another post you mentioned adding drama with PP. I think you have it exactly wrong. PP should be an enhancement, but if you are looking to create drama in photos where there is none with PP, then you are in for a lot of disappointment. Make strong, well composed and exposed photos then tweak them in PP. Sometimes you can save a shot with PP, but you cant make a bad shot a great one that way. Sort of like lipstick on a pig. That being said, I like the tree photo from your other post, but your PP took them too far.

Subject is not very interesting, the post processing I don't care for. Looks mostly out of focus.

As the saying goes, Yes, composition is very important but PP adds drama into a good composition. PP sells and that`s a fact.
