Excellent work! You addressed both of the previous suggestions perfectly. The composition is now balanced, and the technical execution is much cleaner.
What improved
- • The green lens flare artifact has been successfully removed, cleaning up the sky.
- • The framing has been adjusted, balancing the weight of the archway on the left and right sides.
Still to work on
- • The beautiful orange gradient and strong silhouette remain the core strengths of the image.
Golden Archway
Great job applying the feedback! You've successfully addressed the minor distractions, resulting in a much cleaner and more balanced final image.
What's working
- ✓The removal of the lens flare makes the sky perfectly clean and uninterrupted.
- ✓The adjusted crop balances the archway beautifully, fixing the previous right-heavy feel.
- ✓The rich orange gradient remains a stunning and undeniable focal point.
Room to grow
- The complete lack of detail in the shadows still removes some specific context about the location, though this is a valid stylistic choice.low
- The concept, while beautifully executed, is a familiar approach to sunset photography.low
