    Cornfield sunset

    It's one I have taken this summer in Norway, but haven't showed it yet. What do you think? Thanks for opinions!



    The quality is a bit poor, as I have resized it for web use.

    I find the lens flair is a bit distracting. I just wish there where a few clouds or a better foreground.

    Starry sun worked well; its streak reaching the bottom end adds beauty; but as mentioned those polygonal light patches do not help

    Yes! agree on the starry sun, and to lighten it up a little bit from the bottom

    Here is another one for you to judge: (The sky seems a bit off due to resizing )

    This is doubtless wonderful

    I see some striations in sky which you can remove in PP

    I am a man of under exposure; here you too do it that way; if you brighten it up, i think this may turn magical

    The redo on the first pic is much nicer. I like it alot.

    The blue sky in the second pic is distracting with the lines

    Yes, I know. As I said it became so after the export of the image. In LR it looks fine. Any idea why?

    I tried this on PS by selective brightening of the sky and some clone; this is only suggestive since my PS works are never meticulous; so kindly work it out more effectively than this( i will withdraw my modification soon)

    This edit doesn't look nearly as good as the original.

    To the OP, I like both of these shots very much, particularly the 2nd one. I actually think the level of underexposure suits the "mood" of the image very nicely. Great work.

    To be frank, me too loves the original; but many people love brightened images; only to satisfy both group i recommended the variation I am no body to say which liking is more refined; further an expert in PS can do the same brightening in a more sophisticated way
