Re: Sunset on Main St
The lighting on the person and building are conflicting in both color and direction. Makes the image look unnatural IMO.

Re: Sunset on Main St
I assume that you are using you studio flash to light your subject during sunset. This means one of your light sources is running at around 5500K and the other is below 3000K; a true mixed light scenario. Gelling the flash with a full cut of CTO would help fix that aspect of the image. The other aspect is your style, which tends to be highly saturated; so going a bit more subtly in your approach might be worth considering.
As this image has already been taken, you can mitigate some of the issues by globally or selectively desaturating the shot. A B&W image would totally correct for this.

Re: Sunset on Main St
Nice efforts, I like the dimensional effect you've created, full figure would've given it a bit more impact.

Re: Sunset on Main St
Yeah, I see what your saying and that does look MUCH better. I tried to get my strobe with some precut speed light gels and it will not fit around the bulb and even if I could get it around the bulb I was afraid it would melt maybe?? I m not sure how to get this thing. I will search it up. I love how your edit looks. Thanks for the replies and help.
