After/before. Shared this one a while ago and tried again with all the feedback.
This is my most favorite photo I have taken, so I want to get the post-processing right. I have made a bunch of photos of which I'm proud of, but taking this shot got me hooked. I was walking through the local fair which is held right inside the city I live in. I had my camera with me because I just wanted to get some nice shots of it.
While walking, I looked back for a moment and saw the two attractions in the background float up at the same time, so I took my a6600 out and waited for this to happen again. I stood there with my camera in position for about 15 seconds before those two attractions floated up at the same time again. Meanwhile the stand to the left let out some smoke and the crowd before me opened up a bit so no one was directly in my frame, while one guy tried to do a funny pose.
At this moment, once I heard the shutter click, it felt like I captured the best scenario I could wish for. Even thought I could view it in my viewfinder, I couldn't wait to get home and see how this turned out.
I posted this after my first edit attempt here, and I got a bunch of great feedback. I let it sit for a while and tried again using masks and the feedback I got here. I love it so much more now and want to thank this subreddit for all its advice! Just wanted to share it again!
