Just my perspective, but I would lighten, increase contrast, and hike the color temperature, all just a touch. This is good as it is, but to me, that would make it more dramatic. :-)
Oshi Shikigami I had it a touch lighter and darkened it just before sharing it. It was suggested on the door photo i had taken in this house to try using less contrast, I thought I might do that with this photo. I usually add some to these type of photos. I prefer a slightly more dramatic look
It's all good, and very subjective. As I say, it stands well the way it is. I just like to experiment, and see what things look like, with a zillion different "tweaks". :-)
Oshi Shikigami I do that as well, even a slight adjustment can make a big difference. I'll edit certain photos in many different ways then compare them and choose the one i like best. Or...scrap them all and start over
If it was me, I'd try "moving" the window from the center a little bit. It is a center of attention and it is static as well - I admit but in my opinion "too much symmetry" in this picture does not suit its character - at least as I feel it. Cropping a window much closer would have created a different picture all together. An interesting one too - I think.
Michael Mossiagin I did take another photo of this wall which shows more wall to the right of the window. I've just not gotten around to playing with it in editing. I see what you're saying though, some photos should not be symmetrical :-)
yes.. I have to agree about moving the window slightly.. as a tweak, not that there is anything wrong with symmetry.. Can the highlights / high key outside the window be brought down a stop or two? if not, how about spot lightning (Dodging) the area outside?
Kevin Vincent I'm a bit limited with editing, I do all of it on mobile because I don't have time at home to use my laptop. I don't think any of my apps can effectively do spot editing.
