    Default Coral at Lake Haviland, CO

    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.

    Jay, The scene is well framed. I like the fence and the way you created the tunnel view to the mountains from the broken down fencing.

    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!

    Wonderful composition, Jay. I love the b&w and the depth.

    Excellent composition Jay, and black and white is perfect with the white clouds and dark blue sky.

    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!
