Trying out some sunburst photos looking for some critiques and some overall thoughts & impressions.

These aren't easy captures for balancing the foreground light as you have done with the tractor shots. Nice work with the shadow recovery. Is the trestle for railroad or motor vehicles?

You did a good job with the sunstars Adam.

#4 is my favorite.

The one suggestion I will make is to clean up the smaller circular flares. #3 is the biggest offender of this. That's a part of doing Sun Stars that can be a pain sometimes, cloning out them. Though where it would take hours in the old days to remove them by cloning or masking and changing the colors of the circular flares to blend in by matching the colors of the ground. Now a days, our Content Aware Fill, or Generative Fill is so powerful, it's something that can be cleaned up in just a few minutes.

It was for the Pacific Railroad, it’s used as a foot path now.

I’ve got the freebie version of Photoshop so it won’t let me clone stuff out unfortunately. Maybe a Christmas gift to myself
