Old Mine at Creede

[Bill Randall]

There are many old mines in the Creede, CO area. Use 4 wheel drive, and the trail it is slick when wet.

I like your composition, Bill. Is this an HDR image? Tone mapped? Can you tell us a bit about the PP?

[Julie Kenward]

I'm going to wait to comment until I also hear about the pp as I'm not sure what you've done here.

[Bill Randall]

No HDR in this one. Just normal raw processing and a curves adjust in PS. Corrected horizen line in ACR

[Julie Kenward]

Bill, can I get you to post an unedited image of this? Something about this looks off and I can't tell if it's oversharpened or the server did something funky to it when you uploaded it. I'd like to compare it to the first post.

[Bill Randall]

Here is the unprocessed version except for size adjust and converstion to JPEG. No sharpening. No curves adjustment

I prefer color and contrast of the unedited image. Your PP really flattened out the image and gave it an artificial feel. Try going for a more subtle levels adjustment. Straighted and cropped like your original upload and I think it would be great.

May be a B/W version? this is a nice image as is and the place is too. Give it a try in B/W, you might discover that this is a perfect image for that matter.

[Bill Randall]

Juan I think you have a point. I do prefer b and w. Will give it a try.
