Ok, I have ruthlessly stolen this idea from another forum, so sue me, a good idea is a good idea.

I know i'm always looking for advice, so I thought others would be too.

I would love to see a thread where people would be willing to share images before, and after, editing (and possibly a brief description of what was done).

This thread could be of great help to those of us still learning (and still very interesting to the more seasoned photographers among us).

If you don't feel like listing the steps, then just a before and after will do.

I'll start :)

Only basic PP steps taken in lightroom and photoshop, adjusted exposure, blacks, recovery and vibrance, added gradient filter and a touch of vignetting, Exported to photoshop, lowered the car, cloned out the bottom left corner, added smart sharpen @ 200% and 2.0, added watermark... Done

Had to lower the car as it was horribly high lol

Yeah contrast tends to be a quality killer
I would say perhaps tone down the grain and maybe pull back the blacks...

If you dont mind abit of c+c that is lol
