C&C - PP advice needed

superflyninja · 06-10-2011 9:11am #1

HI all,
Main thing Im looking for advice on is for PP on the first(and fourth) image. It looks very...rough or something? It is a combination of three shots, I applied levels and curves, local contrast, darkened the clouds and lightened the lighthouse...but I think it could be better. Any ideas?
Thanks

too much black on the final image perhaps?
I'm a fan of adding "lightness" which might brighten it up a bit.. possible take out some of the contrast? (final image).

Ever tried Nik software for cross processing? Can give some lovely effects!

Love the 1st shot, but I think maybe the sky could use some more contrast and saturation to give it some more punch?

I think the first one is really beautiful as it is, though I'm interested to see how it comes out after some more tweaking. But I love the softness of the sky in it. I'd put it on my wall

Great shots - especially the first one. Although I would crop / clone out the red pipe, the white paint on the wall and the lava lamp in the window - I find them distracting.

yup, the red reflection was an oversight!
