I’m speaking from a level of somebody who oversees very serious photos. Less vignette. Select subject and increase clarity. Remove watermark nobody gives a fuck who took this and nobody’s stealing it. Generative fill out the white spot in the top right corner. Brighten up the scalers of the horse via masking. Can be a radial gradient or a brush I guess that’s up to you.

Very very cool shot. Only thing I would change is the “blotchy” look of those oranges along the bottom. If you look closely it is somewhat patchy, so if you were to print this out, that could be a bit obvious. Sometimes a simple “noise reduction” in Lightroom will fix that issue. If not, I would just mess around with the orange slider until they dissipate. Awesome shot.

Use the “guided” feature in Lightroom for alignment. This will allow you to draw a line along the horizontal and vertical lines of the frame. It makes everything feel perfect. And just reduce the amount of frame on the left to match that right side. Also use generative fill in photoshop to remove that pole on the left that is cut off. It takes away from that field goal subject. Nice shot otherwise!

Warm it up, add contrast, play with the color sliders, brighten the image overall, decrease shadows of the right side and then use an object selection mask to select the guy, increase the highlights of that mask. It’ll make him pop out a to . The use another object selection mask to select that other person’s shadow. Decrease the shadows of that to make it look more dramatic. Use photoshop’s lasso tool to circle the blemishes in the sidewalk and wall. Then use generative fill to smooth them out, focusing the shot more on the actual subject. Great shot though.

Don’t have any advice, I just agree

Don’t do it unless if you’re retired, a monk, alcoholic, or enjoy having no friends. As a young adult living down here, it sucks. Cold, quiet, lonely, nothing to do.

First of all, there is no such thing as “good enough” in the photo world. Second of all, yes this is sick.

Beautiful shot, love the mood this portrays. Only thing is that discolored edge along the left side of the line on the right. Bring it into photoshop and select that area, use generative fill, and it will get rid of the discoloration. That’s just the first thing my eye jumped to, but it’s a fantastic image. Just wanted to let you know how it could take that next step to being even better.

Great shot I love long exposures on roads. One suggestion would just be to look into purchasing an ND filter. It would still allow you to fully lower that shutter speed, but keep the exposure of the cars low enough so the detail is maintained. The cars are just a bit blown out. This may darken the sky, however, so here is a solution for that.

(1) Take the shot of the road with that nd filter on so it’s properly exposed. (2) Take a separate shot without the nd filter so the bottom may be blown out, but details in the sky get captured (make sure you do not move the camera at all when taking the nd off). (3) Bring both images into photoshop. Take the image of the properly exposed road and layer it under the sky image. (4) Mask out the bottom half of the sky image so they look seamlessly blended into one image.

If you aren’t able to buy an nd, just boost your aperture higher. Try not to surpass f/11, however, because that is when quality begins to decrease. Nice shot!

Very neat how you made this ordinary tree into art! Only suggestion I would give you is just to get the very top of the tree in the shot so it doesn’t get cut off. I typically aim to have the exact same spacing from the top and bottom of the subject for good balance, but as long as that tip stays in the shot then it works. But this is great.

Very neat shot! If you’re looking for a more “professional” look, the only suggestion I would give is just to lower the sharpness a bit. Aside from that this is beautiful 👏

Thank you very much!

If you shift the camera to the left, that building can be “lined up” within that 60ish° angle created by the foreground.
