    Hi Alison, great conversion. Love the sky very much how you did it. Very nicely done. I might would lighten up a bit the house and FG. Give it a try, you might like it.


    Have a great Sunday

    Ciao Anette

    Hi, Alison, I like the way the clouds zig zag down pointing to the house. I agree with Annette that the house could be a little lighter.

    Hi Alison - This works very well as a b&w and I like the placement of the house. Good suggestions above for taking this up a notch.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Hi Alison, Love the sky the clouds have a nice three dimensional feel to them and really pop but they also over power the house so I agree with the others on brightening the house to give the image more balance.

    Hi Alison, a nice rural scene and B&W conversion too. Another vote for a lighter house. Looking forward to seeing more of your work!

    This looks neat! Looks like a scene from a forgotten era.
    Did you use a polarising filter on the sky when shooting?
    Good suggestions above, would be keen to see a repost if you deem it an improvement. Looking forward to more of your work, Alison!
