Church and The man

Weston-Super-Mare

It's a great shot and wonderful sense of scale, enhanced by the lines (cross + bell tower) and the effective composition! 👍 The tones are very nice as well, however the color-banding (if that's the right technical term) in the sky and street is quite distracting - what's up with that? Is this a post processing thing or already there in the image you got out of the camera?

It must be PPing, I masked the sky to bring more clouds. This one has only perspective corrections.

Thanks - yeah, you're right! Should certainly be possible to avoid that, if it's something you care about..

These look like jpeg compression artifacts to me. I see them in the road and some of the stonework also. Are you saving intermediate results as low quality jpgs? I always use lossless tiff while I am working on a file and only convert to jpg at the end, using "quality 11" in Photshop ("12" is the highest quality).

I think I found the reason. I looked the photo today and in LRC, it was not showing these issues. I changed the export settings. Normally I use max file size 1000K to keep files smaller. I exported this time w/o a restriction and it was OK.

Yes! Much better. Thanks.
