Request Post Process of your Photo

This thread is for you to post a photo requesting others to post process on your behalf.

There are numerous reasons for such a request, HDR, flare, photobomb, blown highlights, dust, lack of resources, lack of skills. Whatever the reasons, you'd like some help on salvaging your photo and this is the place for it.

I came up with this idea because I've taken photos that I really liked but there was something that needed attention and I lacked the skills to correct it. Hopefully those with Post Processing talent won't mind helping others and sharing their knowledge.

How it works (example),

Requester -
Description: (what is wrong, what don't you like, what was the situation, what was the environment, etc.)
• Predawn, complex lighting, urban landscape, highlights look blown, subject to dark, winter
Request: (what would you like done to your photo)
• Correct lighting, if possible keep color tones, crop, rotate, whatever needs to be done, thanks
Photo: (attach <1mb photo and NEF/RAW file)

Difficult as we all see things different, i just loaded it into ACR hit auto and then raised the shadows by 10%, its pretty close to what i would want.

Thanks for stating the obvious, it was helpful, next time I’m out on a walk you can push the stroller and I’ll manage the camera adjustments.

Looks good, hopefully others can use your skills if they need help.
