My front yard C&C please

HonoringMike

I get to see a lot of beautiful sunsets but this one caught my eye and so I ran out and grabbed some shots.

The only personal criticism I have of this shot is the exposure of the right side of the photograph. I bumped the blues and a bit of the red in PP. Too much? I'd appreciate any constructive criticism. Thanks in advance!

It's not so much whether anyone else thinks you've over-done something. It's more about how the photo represents what is you attempted to portray. If this is what you saw in your mind's eye - then it's all good. If not, then re-work it until you are happy with it.

That having been said, I think there's a lot of untapped potential in this photo that could be brought out with just a bit of time in PS.

Hi and welcome to Dgrin!

I think it's a great front yard and I don't think you pushed the colors too much at all. I'd like to see the great lines in the clouds filling the frame more, maybe even to the point of cropping out the road entirely.

A great first shot and I hope each evening is that beautiful!
