As an advertising or promotional type shot what you have works well. For an interesting still life you would probably be looking at a bottle of beer a glass of beer with froth and maybe spectacles and a book or newspaper. All very hum drum but with the right lighting this sort of thing can work well. Seems to me that some can master the art of arranging items to look good and others like me end up with totally boring pictures. Good luck in your search and I sincerely hope you develop more skills than I have ever managed when I tried it.

Not sure what point your trying to make with No 1. I think you would agree its just a snapshot.
No 2 to my eyes looks wildly overworked but if the result is what you wanted when you took the shot then we may have to disagree about what part realism plays in landscape photography.
Would love to see the SOOC edition of No 2 to better understand your reason for the end result.

Change the buildings for 19th century cotton mills and you have a scene LS Lowry could have painted. Color palette is similar as well.

Looks worthy enough to be posted anywhere to me. Guy called ArtBob hangs out in another forum I'm sure could offer advice on the aesthetics of this image.

Nice work and I will look at the Soft Light Blend mode. BTW the original was in raw. My mistake was letting LR Classic CC convert it to jpg for the original post.

I would say the mistake was using LR for anything other than cataloging. It has no layers no blend modes no access to channels etc etc. Whether Raw or Jpegs open in Camera Raw and use the tools available before going into Photoshop to perform the finale. PS is not so user friendly but once you master it you will not look back.

Opened in Camera Raw and adjusted then into Photoshop and Soft Light blend mode at 14%. Loads more can be done but this was quick and dirty adjustment. Jpegs will open in Camera Raw but different method for different versions of PS. Google is your friend here.

Does LR have a filter for getting rid of the shiny skin in your BW effort?
