On the way to watch my son play soccer have to walk thru the park at Queens Park. Light was strong but PPd up these 2 images (Trying some new PP techquines Ive read). Let me know your thoughts. Thanks.

the st one is a nice shot of an enchanting tree, composition is neat but i think the oversaturated sky possibly due to your pp rather than the polarizer is too pronounced for the scene

I say that because the tones at the bottom of the image are subtle, then at the top there is this unreal reflex blue sky. To improve it desaturate the blue and i think you will end up with a top shot

the 2nd however is blurry it looks like a crop from a bigger image and this weakens it. Howver a thoughtful composition as i can see you framed the shot so part of the tree meets up with the corners a framing technique i live by when applicable always place at least 1 or 2 elements in the corner of the frame

The second shot was cropped yep. I didnt realise the building behind was a toilet block so it had to go hehe!!
Ill have another play with the 1st shot. I think I recovered it from a over bright death

FYI here is the orig, no pp. the sky is pretty nuts

[wendellt]

the sky here is as sweet as a nut

now this may be a bit of a tough nut to crack

but keep the nice tones of the bushes, grass tree etc in your pp'd shot
and just adjust the blue/cyan channels

and the resulting image should be sexy beyond belief

I find I respond in very contradictory ways to much of your work. Some I really like & some not so. Sadly these two are in the latter category. I think #1 will benefit from what Wendell has already said. #2 - the colours just don't work for me as they are way too unnatural. Tone down the saturation and the image will be the better for it.

Thanks for yout comments. I think we all have our good and bad days. I also find the same thing with ppls work, love some and hate some. I was trying some new ways of PP and I guess I got lost in staring at the image for way too long that it lost meaning.
