. I can't say I like the effect edited; to me it doesn't look real anymore.

Thank you, I think it is a Marmite. Some like it some don`t, I love marmite

it just screams: I just learned about "HDR" and pushed a button to make my image look like CGI from 1997. neon grass, crazy green/pink skies, weird glow emitting from the radioactive building...

the original image is begging for some post processing, but imho, you took it way too far.

worst is, all that and it's still underexposed

Just gave it the Topaz Clarity touch to make it pop.

And pop it did, I like both versions

Well, you made it better. But plugins? Yeesh. Kids these days.

For the record, your initial post is underexposed. The "fixed" one shows some of the effect of that.

Thank you too, and agree on it being underexposed. Love using the Topaz plugins.

You can make an image pop, and still look real with basic editing.

used Polarr Photo Editor here and moved some sliders:

Nice edit.

I like Braineak's edit except the sky. Does your Topaz plugins have a polarization filter? That may bring in more blue sky.

I am not sure, but will have a look.
