The picture is a bit skewed, you can straighten it out in the later stage. The blue sky, white clouds, and reflection in the water tell me that it seems to be in a closed indoor space, I don't know if it's true or not. Posted: 02/11/2026 20:33:45
The photo is slightly distorted due to lens distortion, which was not corrected during post-processing.
This is an enclosed space, and the blue sky overhead is artificially created. Posted: 02/20/2026 17:36:00

There is a lot of energy in the photo with colorful lighting contrasting with the blue sky. The aisles also serve nicely as leading lines pulling your eye into the photo. I might bring up the exposure a tad and drop the highlights as overall the photo seems a little dark to me. I'm debating about whether bringing up the shadows would add to the photo or not. Did you play with that idea? Posted: 02/19/2026 05:38:27
During editing, I increased the contrast to enhance the overall lighting effect, so the shadows appear somewhat underexposed. Posted: 02/20/2026 17:36:08
