This is a colour version of image posted earlier .. this one excludes the small rock fig tree ,be interested to find out if you think it would be stonger image in B&W...and if the square format and tighter crop works....
please bear in mind that was saved as jpeg 4 low res.. thanks fpr your help
I feel the crop a little too tight. We loose the imensity of the scene.
With such pale sky, my vote goes to the B&W. You could rework the sky to make a more powerfull color image.
Hey Peter,
Another preference for the B&W. I do like the blance of the isolated rock here and face of cliff/rock.......but I do also feel that clipping the tree on the LH side isn't ideal in this instance. I re-worked your previous post and tweaked the B&W conversion to give you a few more ideas
As mentioned, to improve the composition you could have included the bush. I suggest that cropping more of the larger rock out and shifting more of the center of interest to the balancing rock would be a good way to go. You might also try a reverse s-curve to lower contrast a bit and open up the shadows.
Oki doki... its B@W then... really appreciate the input , ladies and gents... will now try and apply your suggestions .. in silver efex and post asap..
