wasnt overly happy with the colour pic so i have tried 3 aproaches to it, opinions please on what you prefer, thanks for looking

a, b/w

b, filtered

c, higher exposure

It has to be the B&W for be that makes quite a striking image the second two I don't really like :shrug: for want of a better phrase, they look to fake :shrug:

Not really keen on any of them, they all look a bit flat. If I had to choose it would be 'C'.

 

[Flying giraffe]

Any suggestions on making it less flat, It was the main reason I'm tried the other methods, thanks for the advice

Would a grainer b&w approach work? I'm not keen on the pp in b or c.

 

[Ploddles]

It's only my opinion so others may disagree.

You could try have a play with curves or boost the blacks a bit.

Have you got a Raw file? If so try a HDR processing on it...

Sky could be interesting... and the black n white for me... Needs a little more contrast though!

Thanks for the comments, I'll have another play tonight

is this any better?

Looks a touch dark on my work monitor but apart from that it looks good.
