    Took some photos at home over the weekend, and trying to post process them a bit, any comments on what I am doing right or wrong?

    Galway Hooker, boosted the blues a bit

    Too much water in the foreground of the first one.
    You'd have been better off getting a better balance between sky & water.

    The second one doesn't have anything interesting in it.
    It's just a snapshot & could be a bit nicer if taken in landscape mode.

    The third one could do with a bit more contrast.
    The colours are dull, so maybe conver to B&W.

    I agree with the C&C above.

    The first two may look better if shot with a CPL filter.

    A polariser would be great, but I don't have funds yet. Tried to compensate with lightroom, what more would the polariser do?

    You don't have 20€?

    There's quite a bit of science behind polarisers.. but as simple as I can put it, it makes bright stuff darker, eg. skies, light blue turns a lovely dark blue colour.
