Sunset at a subway station

This is an old edit of a sunset at a newly built subway station:

…fairly ugly tones and burnt-out skies.

I redid it like this:

Which to my eye is much more pleasing and more like I remember the sunset - it was a fairly intense sunset, so I deem this to be in the saturated end of realistic.

Looking forward to your interpretations :slight_smile:

Hello,
I really like the atmosphere and the graphic of this picture.
I tried to highlight it by playing on the contrasts and the brightness of the colours.
Here is my interpretation with DT 4.3 and the Sigmoid flow

I really like how your edit preserves the contrast near the railroad tracks. To me they are an important part of the image, drawing the eye to the center.

Nice edit - it even looks good on my shitty office monitor.

Nice one!
Now that I see it, something between your edit and mine is probably the sweet spot for me.

Of course, it’s just to make my monitor look pretty. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

My take using DT 4.2 and trying technique to manage saturated hightlights, I don’t know if it fits this composition though…
Congrats for the perfect framing ! Nice subject( and timing as well but the hardest thing is sometime knowing what you want, right ? :smiley:

More eccentricity from me using GIMP! Saturation taken to extremes.

Thank you very much for your message.
I really like to use the Sigmoid module in combination with two instances of the local contrast module for highlights and lowlights.

Thank you very much and enjoy :smiley:

I really like the clarity & contrast of the original but I also like the increased colour of the edited version. Either way they are great images, beautifuly framed. I suspect you had planned this shot for a while before getting the perfect sunset.
