I think Tyson suggested "Try shooting this tight" Here it is again... Sunbeam cleaners.
What do you think? Is the cleaner still open or shut it down?

#2 was shot on a different evening.Nice sky, that's it.

Your thoughts...If you please.
Thanks

There's something wierd going on with both of these. Not necessarily bad weird, just strange. The top shot seems waaaay too blue. There's a great sky going on in #2, but I'm seeing a halo around the most prominant tree. Accident or design?

Accident...probably from extream contrast boost.
I almost cloned out that tree for that reason. These 2 images are a futile attempt to fix under exposed high contrast shots. I should have shot in RAW.
I did some "lazy" adjustments to try"saving" the unsaveable"
The blue is the result of a circ. polar filter.Saturation boost till it bled...

These are not really that well thought out as you can see.
Thanks for keeping it real. LOL
