Hello again Phil
2 visits to your thread in 2 days.......
Mono monolith......just about on theme I reckon
Difficult one to crit on for composition....like the wall leading in from the corner , monolith on the 3rd's I think ,smidge of interest in the sky...so thats all good
Looks a little flat n grey though ( probably the weather ) would it be possible to pull a little more out of the darkest area of the stone....dodging or burning ( neer sure which one it should be ) ?
I feel so special .........
Thanks Lynne, beyond ACR and cloning I'm lost..........I have no idea what dodging or burning is ........well not in photography anyways
Hi Phil,
Bang on theme, well composed, if you could just have left the wind farm out it would be even better
Thanks Judi, I quite like the wind turbines .........but after your much appreciated help on how to get a sepia affect ( I was looking for just a button to press to convert it ) I've done another version and cloned everything out that looked modern, even some of the buildings. I'm hoping I might have achieved a bit of an 'old look' . I'm going to post it up after this post.
The monolith seems to stop the wall and then it continues leading into the frame, it's a little strange.
It looks a bit on the dark and gloomy side with a bit of interest in the sky and the dark lines on the monolith itself. Overall I think it works well
Thanks Mark, the weather was a bit gloomy, I set out full of hope for a nice sunset........but it wasn't to happen :banghead:
Hi Phil, odd one this for me. It should work, you've done everything right compositionally with the lead in of the wall from the bottom left and the positioning on a third. Technically, the exposure and dof are correct and it's an interesting subject.., and a good conversion to b&w
But I'm finding it lacking something, I'm thinking a more dramatic sky is what it needs. Big fluffy clouds maybe?
Thanks Graham, I do agree that it does lack interest, which is a shame because the stone is quite impressive. A lovely sunset behind would probably work well. If I get chance, I'll get back up when the weathers right, if only for the fact I do think there's an image to be had there.
