Nice compositionJack, although it looks oversaturated to me. I would try to bring the yellow down a bit

Very nice composition, it's a beautiful place. I agree with Andy Smith, I think the saturation is too high. Unless it's intended to create a certain atmosphere.

I tried to make it dramatic, I will upload the original non edited photo later. But, yes, it's a bit oversaturated, I think I have edited it too much in Luminar 4.

It’s so easy to edit too much! 🙂

Yes it is, you need good eyes to be able to get a good colour balance.

That's the original photo with a bit of retouching in PS and LR

Well, I prefer this version. But it’s a question of personnal taste.

Thanks. Yeah, I would agree with you. I tried in the first photo to make. It more appealing, and a bit dramatic.

Nice composition and beautiful landscapes. Nice picture but maybe a bit too much manipulated with the colours and editing 🤔. I prefer itself more naturally looking landscapes 😁
The original version is much better for me 😃👌

Thanks NataliaFlejszarPhoto . In the first picture I tried to make it more appealing, the second one is very little editing.

Yes I know many landscapes photographers editing too much own pictures, but I don't understand it ,of course if you want to sell out standing prints... but I believe in nature, she makes the best work so we need to just be in right time in the right place 😄 and edit just as much as it's needed to show the beautiful moment and landscapes 🤩

It's just good to try something new sometimes.

Of course 😄 and improve own pictures editing skills 😉. I understand the point 😄

Yes, that's right. You learn by trying something new
