Nice scene Harold...does look quite peaceful. I wonder what was off to the right. Could you have given the old mill a little more room in that direction? It also might be personal preference, but I think I would increase the contrast (with a levels adjustment, altering both black and white point sliders). I was once told that a good B&W should contain all 'colors' from pure black to pure white. Rules are made to be broken, but I usually try such a strong contrast B&W in Photoshop and am usually pleased (sometimes I do back off a bit). :) Nice work!
thanks oscar. and judd thank you too. off to the right is a stop light, road and powerlines. had to frame it this way to make it look as old as possible. i'll give the contrast adjustments a try.
Hah! I'm not a real fan of B&W ages for the most part but this is lovely and suits so well. Really like the contrast bump too!!!
Very, very nice mood and image Harold.
bruce, i thought it was fairly bland considering it was winter and there were no leaves on the trees. just not enough color so i decided to go all the way with it.
Hi Harold Would try some loca enhancements B&W is all about contrast and tonality range !!! Try getting the smoothest transitions you can I am on the raod now so won't re post Do like the image very much !!!!
