 This was something I took in Feb that initially I didn't really like, but I was going through my old stuff and I spotted this crop.

I know it's not technically a landscape, but I felt it had a landscapey enough feel that I could get away with it.

Quite a bit of editing later, and a "Professional Retro" later I got this.

This reminds me of some of my old slides that were exposed to the light for too long. I'm not crazy about the look you've achieved. Maybe a little tighter crop, get rid of the darkened sides, and darken everything except the bird would help.

Interesting processing. I'm not sure if I like it or not :-) I'd be interested in knowing what "look" you were going for.

Normally I'd point out things like the crop including the blurred grass in the foreground, the post an bird on the far edge of the shot the large amount of negative space on the right, etc. but I'm not sure that they were actually intentional or not?

I'm not sure the PP matches the subject. I've seen this type of effect used with great success with street/people photography, to create a retro effect, but I don't think I like it for nature/landscape.

You may or may not have done this on purpose, but this looks like a shot that was taken during the advent of color film. I like the post-processing though, I think it works well for the shot.

well this is about as landscape as you can get...a bit to much foreground (at least crop out the leaf in the foreground) and the shot is "hazy"...(what causes that????) seems like it should be clearer, though it is a good shot of the bird...not sure I would put this on a calender...
