Good series.

I like the comp on the first-loads of impact, but the processing looks a bit skewed?


Fourth has loads of energy, fifth needs a bit more empty space for the horses to run into, and last is a peach.

didint notice the skew.. all sorted now hopefully! many thanx

No 1 though is a stunner - that image has such depth Its a winner

I felt the 'processing' was a bit skewed, not the pole

Should have been clearer-sorry

I find the B&W looks a bit unnatural, no shadows, a bit noisy and the contrast lines are deteriorating.

It's an excellent composition with real impact, a more 'normal' type of processing would suit it better (IMO)

ahhhh well at least it made me notice the skewwiffidness ( thats a new word by the way)........ anyway Les just for you......... although i think it has much less impact but its horses for courses i guess < excuse the pun >

I was thinking a more 'normal' B&W conversion, still keeping the gritty contrast, but losing the 'infra-red' look that yours has.

But as you say it's 'horses for courses'
