And they came, like a second sunrise

Apart from the title, this photo is not sci-fi at all. Sorry.

Nice little 1950s saucepan lid trick. :)

Gazing at the Sun

At first glance, I thought it was snow. But I like the overall image. It's certainly gone past photography into digital art, but that's fine. Overally, the image works, so long as you don't see the christmas image of snow and fairy lights, because then it's a bit cheesy. :)

It's interesting that the 2 band members gazing at the sun are the 2 without sunglasses on. :)

I'm not voting on this challenge, but I have to comment on this image. This is just not right at all, but it's REALLY funny. :) There's a button below this image that says "Click here if you suspect a rules violation". If there are dating rules, this has got to be against them. :)

For me, the negative space at the top of the image leaves it a little unbalanced.

Interesting shot. It's hard to imagine what it must have been like to live in this kitchen and prepare meals there!

Photographically, this shot could do with some boosting. First, the WB is off. Auto WB has picked sunny WB, but indoors, this gives a blue cast to the image. One fix as suggested is to throw away the colours, and go BW (I've done this to rescue some truly horrible colours), but I feel the colours add something to this image, so keep them if you can. You can try adjusting the white balance in PS, but I can never get great results from a simple WB slider, and I prefer to use the colour balance, and adjust the RGB seperately. This image needs some boosting in the reds, and possibly a slight reduction in blues.

The lighting is a little flat, with the windows on both sides being quite low, and no overhead lighting. A little bit of bounce flash on the cieling would help to lift the lighting.

For PP, some simple curves adjustments might help (brightness/contrast/shadow/highlight points), but you can't beat a good dodge/burn for an image like this, and maybe even a little HDR treatment (there's many ways of doing this).

PM me if you would like me to do a sample edit.

Nice leading lines.

Very grand scenery. It's a pity the photo has serious colour problems. It looks like a scanned photo from the 1970s.

Now that's a good way to keep us searching this image, even if there really is nobody there. :)

The focus is a bit off. It would improve it to be pin-sharp.
