SHORT DESCRIPTION
I think you worked with curve and haven't controlled very good your result. Now at the ground before the railway (see note) details are lost. The contrast I find better, also it looks more natural now. The posterization is still there. BTW, I wonder, this picture has 25.8 MP and only 6.9 MB. Is it downsampled? --Hockei (talk) 05:57, 2 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The previous settings used to put more contrast into the bright areas, but - as a result - also made them darker, which, I think, contributed to the slightly unnatural look. I think the details in the area you marked are totally fine, though. (And yes, I changed highlight recovery, contrast and curves). About posterization, I can't see any of that in the area you marked. Posterization typically happens in smooth gradients after strong denoising. Finally, about the file size, I use a fairly high Photoshop JPG quality setting and I think it's good enough to not leave any visible artifacts in this case. The photo is not downsampled in any way. --Kabelleger (talk) 16:47, 2 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
By the way, I still think the photo has a certain surreal look to it, but I'm pretty sure that's not due to bad editing. --Kabelleger (talk) 16:49, 2 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I change to  Neutral. --Hockei (talk) 07:06, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
