Opinions on processing please??

[Stevepwns]

Took these a few weeks back, I would appreciate some opinions on the processing. Too much? Too dark? Too much saturation?

I feel like the first is a little too dark. But I like the vignette. The second looks a little to saturated but I have gotten some good compliments on it.

Bringing up the shadows.

I want to see more of everything.

Bring up your exposure a little, lessen the vignette, and lower your saturation a tad.

I think you could also benefit from a bit of cropping in both of them. Either put the pier higher or lower in the photograph. It's too centered.

The first is just too dark to bring the light up to where it should be.


This one definitely benefited from a little lightening and crop adjustment.

If you want editing C&C it helps a lot to post the before and after, and say what editing steps, tools, features, functions you used.
