I really like how you rebalanced the light/shadows and the clarity you added!

“Just use skittles and bump that contrast” /s

Cool pic and editing!

I love what you have done with the contrast, it looks much better. Personally, I don't think the subject is very interesting but thats just my take

Your edit has shaped light to draw attention to that Orwellian structure. It's like a futuristic version of a medieval castle's turret.

Cropping has really made that turret even more attention grabbing.

Correcting the original image's color cast has also made the Orwellian turret stand out.

I wonder if it would be possible to lean into the Orwellian feel by allowing some of that color cast to return to the crowd? I wonder if returning some of that red to areas outside of that turret might make for a more ominous feel?

Increased contrast leads the eye to that area right of the center and that concrete thing- but there’s nothing to see really. Meh.

I might have phrased it differently, but the edit draws attention to something that’s not very compelling.

you should add little stuff like “Meh.” to every critique you write. makes you really likable 👍
