Monument

[Rikluz]

I played around with an old image from holiday trip in Estonia.

Before / after



Can't remember exactly what I did but added contrast, blackness, sharpness and altered some colours.
What do you think, did I overdo it?

Great pp work there Rikluz, I though at first it was a subtle HDR.

You've done well in adding some depth to the shadows and contrast in the sky.

[luckymama]

much better,
I have a lot of photos that need a bit of sprucing up.

You did a nice job with the contrast, but the image looks crooked to me. I would have straightened it.

[Rikluz]

Thanks for the comments! I straightened the image now and it does look better. Forgot to do that yesterday.

[Quo Fan]

The straightened image looks better. I like it.

I think the sky is a bit oversaturated. I do love the perspective and the monument itself, I just think the saturation is a tad much and the contrast as well. Tone those both down a notch and see what you got. Last thing, the statue headpiece looked better in the previous version as it wasn't so dark, contrast reduction should help on that too.

Great Pics buddy! I think that the statue should be more bright as it is the center of attraction of image . just a advice ...
