so i tried something new in processing..i wanna know if it seems too processed. i've been trying different things lately and i'm trying to decide if it looks good or overdone. the photo itself isnt the best, but just critique the processing. i cant decide.

I don't think it looks too processed.
I like it.

maybe tone it down a lil, but not that much really. I like the look of it.

Looks good to me, but I'm not a big thing of non-contrasty pictures in general. That's just a personal thing though

yeah i've been trying to decide whether i'm a fan of the low contrasty style (stept style) or if i like more contrast/ defined tones and shades. this photo definitely shows the lower contrast side of things

Yeah the sky looks over processed/surreal, but the tree looks way too flat imo

yes obviously i know stept didnt "invent" the picture style...but ive seen people on NS refer to a  "low contrast" style shot as "stept style". I'm only calling it that so people have something to reference to in their minds..
