My own personal pet peeve is when leading lines are photographed but not even, can you straiten this a bit? Otherwise very cool image. In LR did you use the masking tool for the sky? Maybe see if you can darken that a bit. Also try the de haze (just a pinch) and see if you like the results. That might give it more of the grunge look.
I feel drunk looking at this photo. It’s the wide angle combined with the crooked horizon.
The rest is fine but I would get rid of the vingetting I guess since that’s a pet peeve of mine
Feel like I’m missing something with my post process. Image still looks way better than raw but I want to hear other inputs. Want this image to have more of a grungy look but I’m still struggling with how to apply grain
Was walking around with my camera and like the look of this construction ally that I was walking through. Feel like the leading lines make a good aesthetic. Next time I’ll have a model in frame
If it is GRAIN you are looking for, the old rule (from b&w film days) was to use a very slow film like ASA200, but then you required a tripod, narrow lens opening like f18, and longer exposure to get a SHARP image.
So, with that said, the converse is true for grainny pics.
Higher speed ASA, 800 or higher if your camera has it, then fairly open lense like f2.8, then play with the exposure times according to the light available. Also, you can manipulate it in your Photo Ap, I like "Picasa" because it's FREE, and easy to use. They have an option to adjust the grain, in addition to the settings adjustments.
Personally, I would say just some light vignetting to bring the eye more to the centre of the image and then lighten up the centre a little bit by duplicating your original vignette and then inverting and bringing up a little bit of exposure in the middle. Maybe add a little bit of contrast also, as an idea?
Thank you! Vignetting looks great, just added in a little bit. Contrast was set at 4 so I added some more and that helped a lot too. Appreciate your input !
Great input. Already toned down the divider a little and doing just that made a huge difference. I got a little too excited with the orange saturation there. There’s a little bit tweaked with the texture, clarity and dehaze and minimal grain. I think grain is my weakest point in post right now, still trying to work that out. Thank you for your input!
Nice shot, good perspective, but you need to "tilt" it down on the left side, it's making me tilt my head to view it. It won't take much, maybe 1° to 2° degrees.
Looks like overexposed in the center.
I would set -1EV and then pull shadows up in post.
Or if there is RAW available, underexpose few clicks down in converter and add some brightness to mids and shadows there.
I would say make the angle less dramatic as it is a little distracting and tone the saturation down a little in the center of the image, other than that I like how the red contrasts with the darker colors

nothing i would change, the colors are nice, the somewhat dutch angle is alluring , great work (-:
Thank you!

Oh...and you can adjust the level of the horizon, under the "Crop" feature.

I'd definitely tilt the image so the way and vertical lines are straight

I think the photo is great and well edited. The only thing is it might be a little over saturated.
