I’m not the best at PP, and still are not 100% happy with either one.
Thanks for the comments:
Paul – you were correct on the gradient mask
Bobby – it’s actually one raw file with two different settings then combined, rather crudely i might add.
Shutterbug – I like the contrail, but see your point.
A revised lighthouse, less blue more correct colors. the white balance is still wrong
Yeah it’s got potential, the frame is there you need to move more to the left and try again. The tree covering the other side of the is almost like it’s covering the subject of the photo.
the over exposed sky lets these photos down, go out and get your self some cokin graduated neutral density filters, they will allow you to not blow out the sky
