My first post here after lurking in the website for a while. I live in Los Angeles and I have been shooting land/seascape photography for a few years now. All I can say is that Lu-La has been a great source of information to improve my photos.
Here is a one of my takes on the Hermosa Beach pier, one of my first few shots using a 10-stop ND filter.

Lovely shot.

Welcome. That's a good start, let's see more.

Welcome Adhika and thanks for posting that beautiful image!
-
Yes, welcome and compliments on a glorious shot. I'd feel tempted to get rid of at least the nearest of the white lights, which is distracting, but it's a minor quibble.

You are most welcome if you continue to post images like the above one. Very nice!
-
Welcome, what a beautiful photo. I look forward to seeing many more.

Thanks all! That's a very warm welcome! Really appreciate it. ;D

I actually share the same feeling. My eyes are constantly drawn to it, but for some reasons it didn't occur to me to remove it. I will give your suggestions a try!

Wonderful first post. Gorgeous, rich hues and lines.
-
Good suggestion, remove the first light. That's why I post here as well. The way the pier stretches to each corner makes this a perfect leading in composition for me. The colors appear to be pushed to their max, but I don't think it's overboard, I think you've hit the nail on the head. I'd have done the same I think.

Very well done and welcome to LULA!

Thanks! I tried to be careful with the saturation and temperature. I am glad it worked out well for you. I have tried removing the first white light with Lightroom but it's rather impossible to do with the healing brush. If there's any suggestion, I would be more than happy to hear it.

I would leave the lights where they are. As a new member you will find that one or more of the members like to nit pick. Ignoring them is best.

It's probably better done with a pixel editor such as GIMP or PhotoShop. I'm barely competent with PS but I wouldn't have anticipated any real difficulty.

One man's nitpicking is another's striving for perfection. It's just important to know when to stop.

Wonderful.

I'd suggest trying the patch tool in PS

Great shot.
I like the simplicity and colors. It deserves a wall ;)
Thanks for sharing.
