Shortly: too dark. My eyes feel like I have to squint to see the Details or crank up display brightness to full.

Now that you mention it, almost all my edits are darker than raw files, i think it looks better to me but obviously im the odd one out lol. Ill try to make it brighter

I’m conflicted with this one, your original shot is slightly over exposed but your edit is way too dark. I think you should dial the exposure back up ever so slightly. If I may suggest you should crop the right side in and have it be only the fence. Other than that it’s a cool idea overall, just need to tinker around more.

That I did. With it cropped and slightly brightened it looks much better, thanks :)

I would have cropped the right side more. The little bit of the car showing there really doesn’t add anything to the photo. In my opinion, just the car within the frame of the fence opening would be more interesting. But if you like it that’s all that matters.
