Tree and Vines

Hey. This is near the place where I live. I know, this photo has not the best angle but I managed to make it look better editing it... I think. So let me know what you think. xD

Original.


Edited.

Hey there!

Well, the original photo is pretty good, the only thing is it's very busy. In the background there's the white house, and to the right there's a light green staircase, and they're all sat there, glaring at the photo. You need to edit the photo - crop it, or blur the edges a little.

I like the second photo, the only thing is that the ground looks rather... well, odd for want of a better word. It seems to just be different shades of brown getting lighter, although I do suppose that was the effect you were hoping for...

Anyway, nice photo!

Hello there.

The second photo is better, but let's face it, it's normally better when it's edited... Well most of the time anyways.
Like Mysterious Magic mentioned before me, the background is kind of taking away from the tree itself. And when you edited it, you took off the focus that was there and put it on the tree, when you boosted the colors and blurred the background. You can edit the original picture without doing major changes though. For instance, cropping the picture on the left side will show less of the house that is behind, and with that, we won't focus as much on it than we did before.

You did an excellent job!

Hi there!

Well, for me, both of the pictures are nice. Normally, the edited one would stand out better because the distractions (background) in the picture are blurred, giving focus to the tree and the vines. (By the way, you meant 'vines', right? Not veins?) I preferred the edited one first, but after a second look, I preferred the original picture. In the edited one, the tree looked slightly fake or fantasy-like (which was actually why I preferred it first but was also one reason why I changed my mind) and looked like it was put there. For me, the original picture isn't really flawed. The other details weren't really distracting in my opinion and are actually interesting to notice.

Also, it's good that you posted both versions so that the viewers can take their pick/preference.

Whoa!! I love the edited version. It's so beautiful!! I'm not the best photographer but I love to edit pictures and I think you did a really great job.

Keep editing,

Thanks, guys.

I'm no that great at reviewing photograghy but I'd just like to say that I thought these were pretty good. I preferred the non-edited one actually. It was simple but it did carry some mystery to it which I liked. The tree and plants surrounding it are beautiful!
The edited version just seemed over-edited, the ground looks blurry and the tree that I liked doesn't seem real anymore. If that was what you were going for then ok but it just isn't my style which is also ok!
