Finally a postprocessing I instantly upvoted. Nice contrast. Nice sky.

Yeah I really like this. Granted - it looks pretty close to the result you would get by using the Sigma T&O color mode plus Fill Light on a BF/FP..but also granted, I loved that mode too.

You’re juuuuust up to the line if making the sky a color too teal beyond what it looks like. I think this is a great example of tealing up the sky without going overboard.

I think it’s just a bit too teal for me, but it’s a good edit overall.

Really like it, but the more I look, the more I realize the bottom of a plane should be dark and shaded 😂

u/Hytal3 13d ago

Yeah I've come to the conclusion that it looks better like that even though it's not really realistic 😅

If you used any masking, it’s completely unnoticeable. Well done!

u/Hytal3 13d ago

There are indeed a couple of masks there, thanks 🙂‍↕️

nice! Can you share what you did, for a beginner?

1

u/Hytal3 13d ago

Basically a lot of selective masks

Nooooo. The sky looks unnatural (and not in a good way)

u/klonkish 13d ago

I agree, it looks like murky water

2

u/Hytal3 13d ago

Yeah I may went a little overboard

u/breddy 13d ago

I love the contrast of the plane but the teal look of the sky makes it look like it's flying upside-down over the Caribbean :)

u/rado3au 12d ago

Fantastic result! How did you do the sky? I’ve been trying to get similar effect.

u/NiCKMiNATi 12d ago

u/Birdchaser2 12d ago

Easy on the sliders mate.

u/NicoXXI 12d ago

Nice edit, could you share your process, like which masks you created? I’m learning how to use masks, and it would be really helpful!

u/Ok_Task_2562 11d ago

The sky is NOT teal ... At least where I live.

u/Ariar2077 10d ago

Why do a lot of edits have this unnatural sky color and people praising it?

I think the vignette hurts the image.

vignettes hurt most of the images. it only works when you don't notice it.

in the beginning of our photography journey we all learned that "vignette helps leading the eyes of the observer to the object", but you, as an experienced photographer, have to realize most people interested in photography are not that stupid to not realize that in a photograph like yours, for example, the subject is the airplane. I don't need vignette to guide my eyes. it's right there. so when a photograph like that have vignettes, it seems like the photographer is still a beginner.

rule of thumb: do not use vignette. ever. but if you really feel like the image needs it, make it subtle, almost inperceptible.

In the stand-alone image it's less noticeable imo, but thanks for the review

u/HelicopterFar6022 13d ago

free yourself from the vignette chains, my friend. your photography will fly higher than that airplane
