I like the other one better for sure.. How are you doing this? Whats your exposure and aperature.. I guess I could be practicing on christmas lights... :)
That's one fine shot, man. Rotation seems fine to me. The implied vertical dead-center is spot-on. You absolutely MUST clone green onto those white leaves, and perhaps mute the brighter greens a little bit as well.
Really beautiful. A little counter clockwise straitening, and darkening those white tree tops (as most commenters have said) would improve this imo. Other than that, I wouldn't change a thing.
Gorgeous colors and sky. Really nice shot. I would clone out the red rooftop (or whatever it is) at the bottom left of the image and burn the treetops where the light has blown the highlights. Good focus and composition. Beautiful job.
I think this is a great shot as is. I agree with others that burning/darkening the bright spots on the tree (and maybe also the bright wall on the lighthouse) would help overall. I also think pushing the sky a little darker, or maybe more toward dark blue and less purple, might give the whole photo more depth. Beautiful work already!
This is nice, love the contrast in shadow and light and between colours here, the colour of the tower makes the shot, the purple/blue sky comes a close second.
Beautiful colours, great capture! The white top of the trees distracts since it is not in sync with the overall gloomy lighting of the photo. Love the colour of the sky and the stars in it. Nice achievement.
Just a tad more cropping and a bit of straightening... I like the captured light beam and the composition. Maybe increasing the contrast to better see the stars with a darker sky? Knowing my bad tendencies, I would try to dodge and burn the sky just a tad to add highlight to the clouds and the beam of light. well done!
Nice shot! I might crop off the bottom 5mm or so just to get rid of that roof in the bottom left. The purple sky is incredible & as are the beams of light. Dispite the stars just starting to trail, I really like them being there. One to be proud of.
Great color and composition! I really like this image. The only thing I would change would be the hot spots in the tree tops. Possibly burning these areas or maybe even cloning them out. Slight hue adjustments could also bring out more purple tones and give the image more "punch".
I love doing long exposure shots. This is great. The only thing I think I would do differently is rotate to straighten the lighthouse and clone out the brightest areas at the top of the tree. It tends to lead your eye away from the lighthouse.
The colors seem to be little bit over saturated. The overexposed part of the tree is a little bit distracting in my opinion. I would try a different angle / position to focus attention on the lighthouse and the sky, dark trees in the background wouldn’t heart.
Nice long exposure here. I would burn the highlight/hotspot on the tree tops due to the light beam. Maybe adjust the color just a tad on the main body of the lighthouse so that it doesn't appear orange. Aside from that, the sky is great and I'm surprised you didn't get star trails :) Great capture.
