    Hello, this image was taken a few years ago. I converted the image to B&W using posterization in CC6. I put the frame around the image in CS6

    Your thoughts please...Terry Johnson

    I really like the angle of view you chose--looking down on the structures allows me to get a good idea of how they look in three dimensions, as well as how they fit into the hills. The B&W conversion looks good to me. I like the diagonal lines in the rocks behind the structures contrasting with the vertical lines of the buildings. What do you think about cropping some off the right and darkening that foreground rock a bit? That might make it less distracting. Nice work.
    I think this image fits the theme.

    Terry, this one gives me a bit of vertigo-love the angle and pitch! The pano crop fits the scene. Your choice of B&W really works, emphasizing dimension without overpowering the eye with contrasting colors-allowing the viewer to be drawn to the structure. My only suggestion would be to slightly burn the cliff edge, it tends to be a dominant element on the lower edge of the frame.

    Terry, I really like your "birds eye" view so that you can see into the structures. Nice b&w conversion. I also agree about burning that foreground rock. Nicely done - thanks for sharing.

    The black & white conversion is stunning, and I really like the vantage point from which you took the shot. The lower right corner doesn't bother me particularly. In fact, its lighter tone might emphasize the feeling of depth. I'd be inclined, though, to crop some off the right to move the tower with the three windows away from the center. That would also reduce the impact of the cliff a bit. I'd also be inclined to narrow at least the black part of the frame. It's a great image, however.
