Which One Do You Like Best...

[Scott Whaley]

I took some photos of the sunset this evening and was playing around in LR doing some PP. I took this one photo and did my typical PP and it looks fairly good to me. Then, I played around with the split toning and cranked up the saturation. I'm not a big fan of using a lot of saturation in my photos. I like the first one and I kind of like the second one, too. What do you think?

Number one for me.....

First one is well done - dramatic without being overdone. Sorry, but really not crazy about the second one.

I’ll have to go with number 1. The second one is a tad too red for me.

Number 1

Somewhere in the middle.

#1. The second is way overdone for my taste.

Number 1
The red spoils it for me

 

[wobe]

1 for sure…

No 1 YAY! No 2 NAY!

I like the first one better. Bring both into PS and mask in a little red of the second one to give the first one more pop.

Gonna have to follow the crowd on this one... #1 is very nice!

 

[Scott Whaley]

I actually like #1 the best, but the redness in #2 grabbed my attention when I upped the saturation in split toning.

#1 is the best picture but I think #2 looks cool as well, well warm as it’s red. #2 is obviously fake and way over saturated but has that apocalypse feel to it. I have one photo I love that is way over saturated and people ask me why and I say because I can and I like it.

No. 1 for me. I tend to prefer realistic over artistic.
