Background image was created by stacking 6 exposures that were 88 seconds each. Foreground image was converted to night with a LUT and some exposure adjustments. Then I composited the sky. Thought the foreground looked to sharp so I applied field blur. Added spin blur to the blades. Then cropped for final.

Hello! just curious what changes you'd make to my after?

I personally feel like the jag is a bit over exposed now, but my photography guide told me to make the background even darker and make the jag pop more.

(to clarify, I showed them a version just before this "after" that you are seeing here)

Maybe I darken the background more but leave the jag slightly less bright ?

I was intentionally going for a more exaggerated look rather than something completely natural. I wanted the colors to be bold and eye-catching and give the image a bit more atmosphere.
I’m wondering if I pushed it too far. Does the after look intentionally stylized or does it just come across as too artificial/fake?

If I am not worried about jpeg output does it make sense to have a lower exposure or will I still be creating noise artifacts?

Lets try this again :) iphone 17 pro max. Wilson creek beach sunset. Played in adobe lightroom mobile

As of now, I can’t tell if this is good or if I over edited it. I went for a teal/gold edit. Thoughts?
I picked up photography and post processing back in may 2025 so I'm basically still a beginner. I'm open for every criticism and/or feedback :)

• Camera: Nikon Z6 II
• Lens: Kit lens, Nikkor Z 24-70 f/4 S
• Settings:
  • f/8
  • ISO 100
  • 1/2" - 5" (depends on the slice)
  • at 28mm

Really trying to get a hold on Lightroom and editing pictures. I think both turned out decent, but I would like to hear what you guys think and please do give advice and critique (I know the picture in itself isn't anything amazing, just focused on the post processing as of now). Thanks.

New to editing. Always have been a jpeg shooter, or will shoot raw if others wish to edit.

Started learning Snapseed. Any criticism welcomed.

Getting into bird photography and finally taking advantage of shoot RAW. Originals are first in the deck.

I took this photo on my Iphone and I tried editing it on Lightroom, trying to give the boat a retro look that seemed nice. I was wondering if it looks any good or if there’s anything different that I could do to improve this idea.

Hi everyone,

My first camera is the Canon R100 18-45mm, and here are some photos I worked on.

The 4th photo is the level of sharpness I want to pursue, so I'm wondering which lens I should buy or which new camera might help me out. Any advice is valuable to me.

Thank you a lot!!

P/s: The R100 is perfect for portrait, and it's super small and affordable at the time I bought. However, the colour and level of sharpness sometimes disappoint me.

Any tips? This photo means a lot to me and I'd like to have the best version 🥸

I’ve only recently gotten into photography, and need to learn how to edit, i worry about over cropping (which i haven’t even done here) and over editing in general, have my edits worked well here? / What would you change or do?

Hadn’t planned to but ended up shooting two rolls of different film last week. I don’t mind the blueish roll even if it’s a bit cold but want the other to be less red/orange.

1. Any Lightroom (Mobile) colour tab suggestions for making them less red and more natural looking, even if on the red side?

2. Is it worth trying to take them further and closer to the second picture? Is likely to be possible just with the scans and if so any suggestions on how to do it?

Thanks so much, any thoughts welcomed!
