friend's work

A very dear friend of mine ask me to work on some of her images from Italy.
This is a shot that she took from a moving bus and the second is what it looks like after my editing.
What do you think?

My disclaimer - I am not a professional in photography or processing. These are only my opinion.
You may have cropped too close, it seems a little out of focus. Also seems to sharp. The color is a little too bright.
I love the shot. Just back off a little on the processing. Be a little more suttle. Crop out the thing on the left if you can and then do a little with contrast, light, shadow, and then maybe saturation. But, I'm not sure you will need the saturation. Sometimes a little is enough on processing.

The only think I like about the edit is the crop. It is too saturated / too green, and the vignetting or framing really detracts from the image.

This is another one that I gave her. Maybe you will like this one better.

Well I'm glad you like this one.
I still like number one; because it was shot from a moving bus thus it was already fuzzy and two I wanted to give it an old world look.
When I like an image I work on it in many ways, color, bW ect. I have o learn when to stop with the editing.
thanks for your input.

I think I like the first edit better. I actually had to stop and look all around. The second one is just another photo of the countryside.
Not saying it's my way of editing but still different and I do like different.
My only suggestion on the second edit .. if you look at the histogram there are almost no midtones .... personally I would slide the center slider to the right... back it off from 1.00 to maybe 0.75..... just a suggestion to give it more depth.

I have to agree! Sometimes it's nice to see a change...
I do agree that it is a bit greenish though.
I hope you don't mind I took a shot a "being creative"...
Just an idea?

I'm not one that critiques very often, but this could be a great capture. However, I think that vignetting is overused by most that use it and this one is way too much. Also, the saturation could be backed off a bit as well. I like how you cropped it and the enhancements would work if they were a little more subtle. Question; has your monitor been calibrated. I might be drawing at straws here, but you may have seen this completely different than the rest of us while you were making these enhancements.
