This image was originally posted on the Landscape Form, and, I wanted to grunge it up a bit for OOTB. Black and white conversion, TOPAZ Clean for detail emphasis, NIK's Old Photo at 25% opacity. I processed the sky a bit different for tonal separation. Added a dash of NIK's flux to grunge it up. Comments welcome......................the three fence posts on the right are a bit controversial.
Hey Jay,
I liked your final version in the landscape so much....I am partial to that! You should post a link so that others could also compare and let the debate on the 3 posts rage on! Excellent comp as I said before and I like where you placed the knocked down section of the corral in the frame.
Like the angle, framing and tones in this one. Very dramatic sky and I like the way you composed the fence so that none of the tops of the tree stumps merge with any of the tree tops in the b/g. Nice job, Jay!
Very nice composition and tonal range, Jay. I love the old feel that it has with the sepia tone and the slightly grungy look. I don't mind the three fence posts on the right; without them, I think that area would be too empty. Well done!
