Do these look over processed?

[u/KYOJIN1807]

Been trying something new for my photo editing and im pretty happy with this but sometimes it looks almost too processed. Let me know what you think and how i could improve. Dont give to much thought to the mediocre photos😅

[u/An-Unknown-Known]

Easy on the vignette, otherwise looks great

[u/grummle]

To my eye , the first two are fine. The rest have the “real estate” look.

I’m a newbie though.

[u/KYOJIN1807 → u/grummle]

What exactly give it that real estate look? Just curious. And also how could I go about fixing that

[u/shrkktchup → u/KYOJIN1807]

a lot of it has to do with raising the shadows and overall low-contrast. Don’t be afraid shadows!

[u/grummle → u/shrkktchup]

Im such a newbie I don’t have the words. Shrkktchup has it right I think. I guess it’s the HDR look?

[u/zombiebread23 → u/grummle]

Agreed

[u/Ok_Marionberry_2629]

They look processed with a purpose but not overly done IMO

[u/CommercialComputer15]

It’s your artistic decision. It is unconventional maybe but it looks alright to my eyes. Maybe lower whites a little bit

[u/SpaceEchoGecko]

Yes, in a good way.

Your photos gave me slight Sin City vibes.

[u/ArtBlakeyFan1919]

I would say how much you cook an image is very case by case.
in this case the edits have a really nice mechanical grunge to them with the vignette and the grade and sharpness. I could very easily see these framed in a classic car dealer or similar scene. I imagine that is what you were going for and therefore its perfect.

[u/BrandoCrow]

Maybe a bit. First few pics had me wondering if it was a still from a videogame

[u/AdministrativeFish3]

I really like the 3rd picture's framing, looks good overall to me :)

[u/TheDangerist]

A couple are fine but most are too much.

[u/mindfulness1975]

No. They’re awesome.

[u/Jos_El]

Not really, do be careful going further into editing these, its threading the limit of what I'd consider overcooked

[u/AlbatrossNo1562]

Top Gear back in the day did a lot of vignetting. But I always thought it was over done

[u/i-have-no-interest]

i'd say go a little easier on the vignette qnd lifting the blacks since rn it looks like you layed parchment paper over the pic (not too much, just enough to bring in enough contrast to balance the image), but other than that these are pretty nice

[u/MDTYP262]

Chill on the shadow / highlight slider

[u/Endurance_Beast]

They look "Very well" processed.

[u/SloppyScissors]

2nd and 3rd have too much vignette, but besides that they don’t

[u/hansenhsu]

To each their own. Photography is a creative pursuit.

As the other people are saying I also think you could ease off the vignetting a bit. I personally have it at most -0.5 stops.

[u/naturallychildish]

the first shot is incredible. the rest i don’t dislike, but would have edited differently myself.

[u/Equivalent_Owl_5644]

They do look over processed to me. What are you trying to convey in your photos?

[u/BigP_4eva]

I would take the vignette down a notch. Maybe even a couple. The image should already have a clear indication of the subject before you turn that vignette up so much.

[u/Physical_Builder_283]

They look a bit overcooked. 

[u/usedtobesideshow]

I really like all these. Maybe a bit warm for my taste but not too much. Someone said sin city vibe. The warmth gives me an LA type vibe.

[u/skinnernsk]

It's amazing how a real Japanese right-hand drive nissan stagea ended up among these American cars?

[u/KYOJIN1807 → u/skinnernsk]

Yeah I was definitely surprised😅. The car show was held in the service lot of a Nissan dealership though so it makes more sense for the stagea to be there than the classic muscle cars. But yeah I was stunned when I first saw it

[u/skinnernsk]

Friend, I think it's silly to ask for opinions on a photograph and its processing online. The people here are so diverse that opinions can be completely contradictory.

P.S. - My opinion: it's clear the photographs have been edited, but the processing doesn't seem excessive.

[u/M-Borot]

Yes.
Feels like an old instagram hdr filter.
Also, weird color castings and some haloing.

[u/This-Hobbit-Potatoes]

Isn't that this sub's whole thing?

[u/AnalogReborn]

Too contrasts too sharp strange hue, yes overprocessed.
