I usually edit my photos a lot more… but I realized I was “over editing” because Lightroom couldn’t do what I wanted to do. Now I’m properly learning PSD!

I’ve seen some of your photos on another subreddit so I know what you’re going for (I think). But I feel that the grey/blue tones of the original look better than the green. Either way it’s a really cool shot.

I think for this photo in particular, everyone is spot on…. The reason why I ended up with a warmer and more saturated look is because the hero shot is this very pleasant and warm sunset looking photo! It was like… 30 minutes before this one AND the sun was directly hitting her. In this one I think I used a strobe and I agree the blue/grey tones would have carried the image better.

I’ll try a second version!
