Before/After

I think the original strikes an aggressive foreground, while the edited has its exposure brought down and bison slightly raised. Which one is better? Is there anything I should do to enhance this photo, or is it fine as it is?

Before/ After of my Porsche 944 Interior Shot

Shot last October in the evening while fueling up my car for it annual winter storage.

I was trying to bring the colors and feel of the interior back to how it looks in person. I added subtle masking to help guide the eye to the steering wheel.

Feedback welcome!

Which version feels the most "dreamcore"?

Took this photo with an infrared camera. Going for a "dreamcore" vibe with my post processing. Which photo edit feels the most "dreamcore" or dreamlike to you? This is non technical, and just asking for some opinions

Before / After: First hummingbird.

Used my z5ii with the 28-400mm it’s the longest zoom I have until I get the 180-600. It was shot at F8. 1/1250.

I’m not the best at LR still learning. Any feedback is greatly appropriate, thanks

First ever edit, seeking feedback

Hello! This is my first ever edit of a picture. I used light room after viewing a ton of tutorials. I know the subject matter isn't the most exciting and the composition could use a lot of work. I'm wondering how i did with the editing? Any and all helpful criticism is appreciated!

I'm having a difficult time uploading the raw original because the file size is too big, so i converted it to a jpg. Please let me know if there's a better way to do this!

Thanks for looking!

Trying a more extreme look (after/before)

I used this very dark image taken during a Peaches concert. Loved the pose but focus was meh, iso was very high, and i could not find a way to get a usualy satisfiying result out of this image. So i tried something much more extreme for the hell of it, and i kinda like it. I embraced the high iso noise, lifted extremely some shadows and highlights, and even added grain, which i basically never do.

I know this is not "photographically correct", but the goal was to get a more abstract look.

This post processing lost a photojournalist his World Press Photo Contest prize.

Swipe to see the other images. World Press Photo is a Dutch non-profit organisation that runs the annual World Press Photo Contest FOR PHOTOJOURNALISM — "the largest and arguably most prestigious press photo competition in the world". In 2010, for the first time, entrants had to also provide the original image as it came from the camera. Photographer Stepan Rudik had won third place in the sports photography category with his altered image but had it rescinded when his original image showed a foot in the background that he had digitally removed. He had also cropped deeply and then altered it to Black and White and apparently added vignetting and grain. The judges didn't fault him for that but removing the foot was too much for them.

After / Before of a golden hour damselfly

The sun was already getting quite low, so the light wasn't as harsh anymore and the contrast wasn't as strong as it would have been earlier in the day. Shooting in RAW still helped a lot, especially when recovering details from the darker areas and bringing back the rich color of the sun.

For the final edit, I also brought in some of my signature teal tones in the background to complement the warm golden light. Edited in Lightroom and Photoshop.
