here's a new spot from Wissahickon park that i stumbled upon the scene was mostly in shadow so i had to take 2 exposures and blend them at different stops then the result was too bright and i had to bring back the drama.
i did a directional temperature change warmed from top left to bottom right corner and cooled from bottom right to upper left increased the saturation in the bridge removed trash and a beachball other than that just a little orton
new spot new challenges
Fixed it for ya:

Lol smartass, i never was a grammatically correct individual hahahahaha
I think that a colon after "change" would be preferable, while a comma could also be added after "corner".
Lol you guys are killing me
I didn't think it was ever appropriate to use a comma before "and."
As I'm sure you agree, Phillip, there are no absolutes in grammar & syntax. Joseph's meaning is clearer with the addition of the comma in this somewhat conceptually complex sentence.
Perhaps you should just post the images and let people work out themselves what you've done, Joseph, so they actually critique the images rather than what you've written!
Nice photo! Which is which? ;-)
Because it’s before and after ya goof!;) top is the original bottom is the edit
That tree trunk on the far left is bothersome. Other than that pretty nice composition.
I had to ground the illuminated foliage but yeah it does pose as a bit of an annoyance
What lens and camera settings did you use on this image? I'm looking at the enlarged photo and personally I love what you are getting straight out of camera. Doesnt have that overly ethereal feel that a lot of long exposures get. Good lighting.
d3300 and my Samyang 14mm with probably acts like a 18mm. i will revisit this spot when i upgrade to FF. I just like the softness of Orton effect but i should probably not use it on everything. i will try and get some without.
with a 1.5 crop factor a 14 is a 21. I never would have guessed you shot that with a wide lens. I don't mind the soft look of your post production, the only thing I would suggest is being more selective with its use, like leaving some parts of the image sharp (foreground rocks for example) to balance out the effect.
Also, these types of mid range shots seem like perfect candidates to experiment with focus stacking.
I can agree with that
