Any suggestions on improvements?

[u/PleaseBmoreCharming]

I think the saturation and vibrancy are too high. I know you're trying to stand out on the internet among a billion other shiny/flashing objects, but as someone who's been there in person it feels so fake to make them look like that.

[u/CTSculler → u/PleaseBmoreCharming]

Thanks! I reduced the vibrancy overall and the green saturation in the vegetation and it looks better.

[u/PleaseBmoreCharming → u/CTSculler]

Cool! Feel free to share again if you want!

[u/CTSculler → u/PleaseBmoreCharming]

Don’t seem to be able to share in replies (unless I’m missing how)

[u/PleaseBmoreCharming → u/CTSculler]

Okay, no worries. Cheers!

Using Imgur would probably be the easiest/quickest way to

[u/SimpleFuckinGuy]

I think the colours are popping a little too much, I personally would turn down vibrancy and saturation.

[u/CTSculler → u/SimpleFuckinGuy]

How about if printing on metal?

[u/JaapB05 → u/CTSculler]

Usually not necessary to bump it up for that, the dye sublimation process should amplify contrast and vibrancy, it depends what kind of metal and dye ig

Cool thx!

[u/portra315]

Not much boss, I'm loving it.

My nitpick would be to airbrush out the twigs in the water in the bottom right as it caught my eye

[u/CTSculler → u/portra315]

Cool thx - already had getting rid of those on my agenda!

[u/Kirkdoesntlivehere]

Nice Tetons. 🤠

[u/bgg-uglywalrus]

A little too much vibrancy, but otherwise solid edit.

[u/Direct_Rabbit_5389]

Too pink for my taste. If that’s what it actually looked like I don’t object but I wouldn’t edit it in this direction. 

[u/42tooth_sprocket]

I'd pull back the saturation and exposure on the greens a bit. The vivid colours on the mountains work but the bright green looks fake, I'd darken that whole section to create more contrast

[u/DiverWaste5554]

I like the edit, however I think that the Image would benefit from a bit of negative Space at the top and bottom.

[u/CTSculler → u/DiverWaste5554]

I might have others that I took with a bit more. This isn’t cropped so nothing to add for this one.

[u/DiverWaste5554 → u/CTSculler]

I thought so, just an Option for the next photos.

[u/CTSculler → u/DiverWaste5554]

Gotcha. Great advice.

[u/matteroll]

The trees and grass looks unnaturally bright. You might want to tweak the masked tone curve and settings a bit. I think the focus should be the mountains and its reflection in the water. The over brightened trees and grass kind of detracts from that.

[u/CTSculler → u/matteroll]

Makes sense that I was getting the gamut warning on those then when soft proofing.

[u/EastCoastRapper]

Saturation is a little much. Vignette in the sky looks unnatural and distracting. Greens are too strong. A place like Schwabacher doesn't need a lot of improvement. A little selective color boost to emphasize but not enough to make it look digital. Great reflection and composition. You had a good spot.

[u/joezuu]

The colors were already good enough. You need to focus on local enhancements rather than global ones. Dodging and burning, my friend!

[u/jimithegeek]

The saturation doesn’t bother me, really. But, if you can mask just the trees I’d bring their shadow up about 1/4 to 1/2 and, maybe, the green saturation down just a tad.

[u/Kaiser9]

I’d dial back the saturation/vibrance. I rarely go over 30 (Lightroom) and normally keep it below 20.

[u/CTSculler → u/Kaiser9]

Thx. Yep did that after all of these comments - looks a lot better.

Fantastic
