An error in judgement on my part....I tried loads of different positions to photograph the building and filled 2 memory cards in doing so, rocks and boulders, thistles and grass as forground but thought this the best as the grass has half of the seed head missing and the roof is half missing.feenster said:I also like the third, but would prefer the bit of grass-thingy in the foreground to be a tiny bit more to the right, so there is a gap between that and the background. Sorry if i'm being picky again!
I really like mono myself and love some of the stuff you have done but being honest i've never been happy with anything i convert to grey scale. On top of that the picture was specifically taken for the red roof which caught my eye when i took a landscape shot many weeks ago and as i've said i just had to go back and get up close.Adrian said:I really like the first but as a big mono fan, wonder what it would look like with no colour and loads of contrast?
It just so happens i did process one just as you said, stronger contrast less saturation and a sprinkle of grain, i'll try and sort it out a bit later.dazzajl said:I think the composition in the first shot is just lovely. The way the building and the clouds appear to be pulling to the same perspective point is wonderful. I would personally like to see the colour balance tweaked away from the strong yellow but that's just my preference. Also, a little grain might add to the feel of the place....... but again just my 2p's worth.
Can't quite remember, shot in Raw and processed in Rawshooter then in Photoshop, contrast, brightness, saturation and maybe a very slight play with curves on the sky.Chez said:Great shot, the first one..
Is it just my monitor at work or do they look more like paintings than photos?
What processing have you applied?
Steve said:The last thing I would like to say is that people and that includes me, should try to be a bit bolder with selecting one good shot and having the courage to submit it to the Critique forum. In this case the top shot would have had many comments and been very well received.
Thanks guys for all the comments. I like all 3 shots and because they are of the same subject, along with not being on the forum to post for a while and having already posted for the critique section was the reasons behind posting all 3 here. Besides which i could not choose between 1 & 2.Steve said:Ken, its a shame that you have put the top photo in the photo sharing section and not in the Photo critique and comments as it is really an excellent picture and warrants the in depth comments it would receive there.

Thanks again.

Cheers Steve, got to pop out for a mo, i'll follow your instructions when i get back.Steve said:Yup they are there to allow you to attach one to each reply. What you need are the ones that you can use in the body of your posts.
Nothing to the right?
If not i suspect that you have the settings in your user controls set to prevent this.
Give me one moment and I will tell you how to set them correctly
