Don't feel like this one is quite there. Would appreciate any PP suggestions, or should I reshoot on a weekend with better weather?

[EDIT] Same goes for this one.

hi dawesy, i don't know what pp you've used..... if the first was mine i would probably do something with levels or shadow/highlights.

i do think you can use the clouds to your advantage in this shot.

i don't know how the original scene looked but here's a quick make over....if you wish this to be removed no problem.

I should have mentioned what I'd done so far. Aplied curves, upped the saturation and brightness as well as a touch of extra contrast. Not to mention remove the dust bunny.

Can I ask what you did to get your version? Not sure it's to my taste overall, but I like that the colours on the ground are richer.

This is the out of camera original.

this is something like the settings used....

shadow/highlights.... shadow= 8%

highlights=60%

levels....................rgb...40/1.00/255

hope this helps.
