The high contrast edit looks a little cool on the screen, but if you're going to print it, the levels will need to be adjusted!. From experience that kind of high contrast pink/orange combo can come out muddy and weird when you print!. The water and the boats could use a little more detail and less shadow!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Depends what you were trying to achieve!. I personally like the unedited one better, simple because I like to see the shape of the boats!. In the second one they seem blurry and the focus is more on the sunset, but it also looks as if the whole picture us blurry and seems out of focus!. There is nothing wrong with this, especially if this is what you were trying to achieve, I just personally prefer the first one!. Great sunset by the way!Www@QuestionHome@Com

it's terribly underexposed!.!.!.adjust levels in photoshop if you have it!. then adjust saturation so you can keep some of the color in the sky, and don't listen to people who tell you you need a better camera!. it wasn't the camera that was the issue in this photo!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think you should just leave it the way it is!. If you want to have it edited, remove some of the shadows and increase the contrast a tad!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

the original was better but still a little dark!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Too dark, remove shadow and add highlighting!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
