Yes it was Radu. It looks like my post processing brought out some of the noise.

Hi,
To clean the shot by cropping could means to give to the onlooker the possibility to think(to fill) in his proper manner the image.Below we see two "uncleaned"shots

I must thank to Arith

Hi,
On"A wet day trip to Cambridge" Arith wrote "...two of them not so good were I was in two minds to either do a silhouette of chemneys or take a pic..."When I transformed his b&w image into another one he reminded me "Very nice I that it what you meant but I like dark"
Ok,I like "dark" but very easy we believe that a dirty dark grey could be black.I recon that this concept is very difficult and less mesurable but I think the old Zone System could help
Below is what I think to be the place of black into "dramatization" of an image, our customer being our master:D

First was recropping,then I moved(two times) the third chemney to the background with lasso and move tool then I changed the angle of the road with free transform and with liquify filter I curved the left line of the road.I "silhouetted"the building with levels and in the end I transformed into b&w
Thanks for understanding

Hi,
Davey did a very nice shot which for me is not creepy(neither shot nor the house).In my opinion the mist or the darkness give such feeling.So I dragged the top right corner on the entire shot with move tool then with erase tool at 2% I covered all area as my taste said.At the end I applied skew transform to increase the top of the house.

Hi,
To talk about contrast menu of the camera is not too hardly.When I am on street I know if subject will be a contrast one or not so I put in the camera my choice.Below You see a contrast subject and some choices.You will see the link between contrast and brightness inside the camera

There are many ways to control the flash light upon a subject.Below You see one.(In the most situations we must combine the controls :D)

Hi
ScoutR presented a full of poetry shot-in my opinion,of course.To underline this aspect - CtrlJ,Adjust colour:adjust hue/saturation:saturation at 70-90,lightness 70-80 and hue at +15,then blending mode for layer 1-soft light and opacity
as your taste said,around 70%.(time 5 min.)

Hi,
Today I saw this beauty at "Perspective Correction" chapter of this forum.
http://i52.tinypic.com/aw51r9.jpg
When I see what is written on the building wall I cannot break my desire for showing another kind of perspective correction control which is under the need to transmit the "hidden informations" i.e sentiments.
So I tried to build a kind of Great Wall cutting the top side of the shot and stressing the barrel distortion.That is possible with pucker and bloat tool
