1. HDR Bracketing
The colours that you see in the photoshopped picture are not as good in real life. In other words, the reality is a little overrated in the picture.
2. Copy And Flip
The original image has been copied and flipped before joining it and making it look like there are actually four walls surrounding the photographer. The brightness has also been increased reveal the colours.
3. Altering Colour Temperature
People who have some knowledge of editing knows how much the colour temperature matters.
4. Enhanced Colours
A little bit of colour enhancement can make the photo look 10 times better.
5. Smart Editing
Photoshop can turn any photo way better. Here is the biggest proof.
6. Tackling Over-Exposure
The image that was clicked was over-exposed which had been fixed and colour corrections had also been done.
7. Saturated
A little bit of saturation and color balancing can make the photo better.
8. Orange Sky Gradient
A lot of editing has been done to this photo. The Orange Sky gradient, sunrays and the added glow- he did it all using Photoshop.
9. Mount Fuji
This is an HDR image created by combining all 3 images. Good editing, overall.
10. So Much Better
The same thing that has been done in the first photo is done here. Photoshop and Nik Color Efex Pro together creates magic.
Bonus:
The photo can be made fascinating using very common things.
