Still culling through a large number of images I shot in Savannah last month.
Dont worry; I'm getting closer to the end.
Two low-light, handheld images of one of the many beautiful squares that make up the Historic District.

General thoughts, thoughts about crop, lighting? Other impressions and suggestions?

Thanks as always.

Scott,

Diggin' the first one.
Love the lights illuminating the trees. The silohuette in the foreground gives it some dimension, too.

My edits might be:
A smidgeon of counter-clockwise rotation.
The building top peeking through the trees upper left
The sky color (add some blue)
Some distortion correction
Lower the contrast of the lamp posts (moth to a flame, my eye is drawn to them a bit more than I'd like)
I might play with selective WB for the plaque, the warm light makes the statue pop, but muddies the plaque.
A slight trim off the bottom foreground, maybe a little off the left also.

All subjective/minor ... still quite nice ... good eye.

Scott,

Sorry, but the mixed lighting doesn't work for me - perhaps cool it a bit?

Bob

Kent,
Thanks. All seem like excellent suggestions.

Bob,
Appreciate the feedback.

Anyone else care to chime in?

Scott

Scott,
Nice shots! I made a few of the edits on the first one that Kent mentioned. cc rotation a bit, color adjust, and sharpened a tad.

John,
That rework looks really good!
Thanks.
Scott
