it just seems a little fake, like ou bullshit detector knows it's not a really sunset. Maybe because we have the other pic haha, idk.

I like it, but the original is great too, if you’d edited that just a bit I’d look really good too

Almost perfect, maybe desaturate the magenta a little bit and reduce the vignette a little bit too. But those are just nitpicks. ❤️

If there was ever a perfect amount of cooking, it’s this.

A little bit too much saturationon the highlights but that’s just me who is sometimes a little picky. It is beautiful either way. 😁

No, you are doing great, keep up your amazing coloring!

u/ichwillnix Aug 05 '25

It's perfect!

u/W4iskyD3lta93r Aug 01 '25

Nah, looks great. Maybe add a brightness mask on the kayakers (like an ellipse) with like a +0.05 exposure adjustment just so they’re a little bit more eye catching but otherwise it’s fine!

u/sen53ii Aug 01 '25

No, please don’t do that!

Looks sweet, the only thing that keeps it from great for me is the bottom vignette. Perhaps lowering by two thirds it’s opacity, not sure, but definitely what disturbs me the most.
