More playing about with RAW

[ed_o_brain]

Playing about with some more post-processing and welcome a bit of critique. I'm just starting so please be gentle



I've not put as much time into this as I'd like and if I had the time, there's already a few things I would do differently or experiment with.

I desaturated and darkened the sky and then lightened the foreground slightly. As the image started out as a RAW, I sharpened it a bit. I probably should have done that first a smaller pixel radius as I think the result is slight over done.

I think I would have probably spent some more time lightening the foreground, particularly the front of the car and I'm sure there's a way to get some more drama out of the sky.

Thanks for looking.

I think it looks good. Maybe you could add a bit of orange to some of the clouds. Might add the drama you are looking for?

Would be nice to see the original before the retouch to see where you've come from and where you can go with it...
