It is funny to me as a photographer and traveler that while I have visited Seattle and even Photographed the Space Needle that was a block from my hotel room, I have never actually been closure to it than that.
I took my iconic image and packed in as much site seeing as I could and while I wanted to go up the Needle I never quite found the time.
My 2019 image was taken using my iPhone X at the time and while I like the original image today the new edit speaks to me as the colors are edited to really pull out the sunset colors and the warmth of Spring time in Seattle.
I also cleaned up somethings that didn’t bother me in 2019 and do today. The Power line and the corners and tops of buildings in the bottom portion of the images.
While not drastic changes they are changed enough that I can appreciate the development of my artistic style, and eye from 2019 to 2024.
What do you think? 20019 or 2024 edit better?
(Also excuse the quality I just grabbed a screen shot of the 2019 to use and tweak.)
