Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

I thinking about getting this photo printed to go on the wall. I just want some opinions on it, have I done to much Photoshop or not enough. You input is appreciated.

IMHO, I think there is too much cropping in the second. Also, although the first appears too orange, the second appears too pink.

I do really like the shot though. And in the uncropped version, I like how the lighthouse is framed (but far off) in the gateway. Definitely a keeper with some more work.

Beautiful image, I think something between the two would be a very nice keeper. As already suggested, not so much of a crop out of the sky and a little less orange tint. Compositionally this shot excels! Thanks for sharing.
