Editing Advise

[FdeBruyn]

Hello Guys. I hope I am posting to the right place, this is my first attempt at submitting to Jetphotos. Do you think it will be worthwhile to try and submit these two? I thought the quality is good, but after looking at some of the photos, and reading comments, I am seriously wondering now?

The quality is ok, but there are some editing halos (and vignetting on the second) that would cause them to be rejected.

I am not even going to try with the one. But I tried to fix this one. Do you think it is better?

Hi FdeBruyn, your attachment link doesn't appear to be working.

But the issues that dlowwa mentioned are easily fixable. The halos are due to the "highlights/shadows" sliders in Photoshop (use less of it ), and you can fix the vignetting by ticking the "lens correction" checkbox when importing the RAW files into Photoshop.

Light editing halos still visible.

Thank you dlowwa....let me try again.... The only things I changed in Lightroom 6 is : Exposure +0.70, Contrast +5, highlights -5, shadows +40, whites +14, blacks -7, clarity 0, sharpening 30, noise reduction 20. I toned everything down now.

Hi!

The light Halos are still Visibe.
Try again without using "shadows" and "highlights" as those and "clarity" causes such Halos.

Have a nice day!

Hi Julian S, thank you so much for the feedback. Here it is without any shadows and highlight changes. Is it not to dark now? Regards Francois
