>>2855269
Why the foreground? Why from that far? At least take it from closer at high/low pov to make it interesting. The way is taken is just shit.

>>2855271
Cut stalagtites at the top, distracting light at the back, not enough contrast between subject and foreground, should have cropped top right/bottom left ones. In conclusion shit.

>>2855274
At least on this one the light helps. What Im looking at here, the stalagtites from the top who aren't completely framed, the stalagmite on the left who also isn't or the bottom were there is fucking nothing? Make up your mind before shooting.

Enjoy you're critique

On the small LCD it looked fine, it was only till i blew it up at home i realized it to be sort of blurry and weird.

I didn't have to much time for adjustments either, and it was really dark. the tour guide moved from one area to another really quickly.

You can always play with LR/PS/wathever later on and try to compensate for the lack of contrast, somewhat composition (cropping), colors, etc. But gotta get a good pic to start with

Even if the exposure time had been correct, at the most basic level you still have a pole if some sort smack bang in the middle of your picture.

Very nice.
If you go to aperture f10, lights will have that star burst look like you got in the lower right.
Experiment with shorter exposure times. Your lights are blown out, especially the neon signage. If you use Lightroom, you can slide highlights all the way to the left to bring back some of the details lost in the lights.
I like the reflections in the water. Try showing more of the water: one third sky, one third city, one third water. Those reflections are where the magic happens. Also, the long exposure time makes the water look mystical.

this is a very cliche photo. Cutting off the buildings makes it feel disjointed.
Barrel distortion in your lens makes the vertical lines lean in, particularly on the sides. In Photoshop, there's a filter for easily correcting verticals called Adaptive Wide Angle. You can find tutorials on youtube

Mtion blur is good to have in a photo. The street sign pole in the foreground seems purposeless. You could probably Ps it out. I also dont know why the focus is so much toward the close part of the photo, and falls off about at the point where the car and bus are. The fence in the background is soft, and the boring ground and pointless light pole in the front are super sharp comparitively. Off to a good start though, I only complained cuz you asked for crit.

this one was worth enlarging the thumbnail. How about more water and less sky though? Maybe longer shutter to make the water even more creamy.

Sunset pictures are kind of lame. Getting colorful pictures of the sunset doesnt really require any more skill than pressing a button. If you make the colorful sunset be a secondary element to a more interesting subject, they really do a lot for a photo. Sunset pictures have already been played out.

Great shot, perfect DOF - I like all of the different textures and details.
Nice crushed blacks and PP work.
I like the way that the old man is cropped so short in the shot, it makes him look like a little boy and the woman seems motherly.
Why did you ISO 250 instead of ISO 100?

You're putting way too much thought into a photo of a vase. Flower photos are what you take when you first get your camera. Nobody cares about them unless you take some of the most interesting most unique flower photos anyone has ever seen (and even then, only if people think they look like pussies)

Think less about your processing, and more about taking a photo worth looking at.

Got it. Awesome. Thing is, I don't care about the pic, I care about the processing, which is why I was asking about how to improve this in post processing. I didn't ask for a stupid gif critiquing composition. Any criticism on tone, colors, lighting, contrast, saturation, curves, white balance, highlights, color correction, would all be super appreciated.

But flippant criticism of something I'm really not looking to improve on right now is something I don't want or need.

I can't improve my subject/composition right now at this moment. I can work on my post-processing right now, and that's what I'm trying to improve on. If you don't want to help, fine, but regardless if you're eating dog shit or a 5-star meal, knowing how much salt to add is still important, even if it isn't the big issue.

You can't have one without the other. You process to support the intent of the photo. You process to enhance and adjust the light in the scene. You can practice with the tools to make sure you know what they all do, sure, but trying to learn processing without a photo is like trying to learn to race in a car that has no engine, asking about your turning technique. What you're doing now doesn't apply to the future.

Besides that, it's not to bad, not much to look at and its about as cliche as you can get but I'm not nearly as opposed to that as most people on here are. The vanishing railroad gives it some motion but once you look at that there's nothing to focus on subject-wise. Next time you should try shooting from more angles like kneel down or climb a tree or something, shots at eye level don't seem as interesting as something shot from an angle which people aren't used to. Motion is the best thing you had going here but even that could be much stronger. You could also try to bring out more color with post processing but what with the awful vignetting that was so easy to fix I'm guessing you don't know how to do that.
>>2859469
This is pretty much useless. Framing is much worse then the first one and the black and white doesn't work with this image at all. The no trespassing sign and the light pole distract from the motion that was in the first one. Also because these are both somewhat lacking in subject matter you need color to keep it interesting.

Unless you were intentionally trying to make it noisy, otherwise the composition is good and I like the ominous feel of this photo.
