Just not understanding what you are trying to capture in this one John.

I like it John, as I'm a fan of BnW landscapes I would crop the image from the LHS just a bit to eliminate that black thing coming into the frame from left.

I love this one, John...than the other one last time...did you do Silver Efex here? I like the texture and the noise too...I can't wait to go out when my new 12-24 comes this Wednesday...

Hi Binnur,

Thanks for commenting. Will try your suggestion.

Hi Izzie,

Thanks for commenting. I used Elements to convert, I played with the color channels a bit more than I normally do. I use my UWA very rarely, but when I do I try the Deep Depth of Field Technique. I felt the cast shadows in the foreground were interesting enough to engage the viewer and the brightness of the horizon would immediately attract the viewer's gaze.

Hi Jim,

Thanks for commenting, see post #6.

A good view of the lake scene, John.

This is a matter of personal taste, but for me the image is a bit too dark and contrasty, giving it a stark, cool feeling - if it were mine, I would try lightening it a bit and also try a very slight warm toning effect.

Just curious - what are the triangular lumps in the foreground?

Cheers.
Philip

Hi Philip,

The triangular lumps are I believe the base of blossom trees about to be planted. Thanks for the comments and suggestions.

Very interesting; I'm wondering if one of mine might benefit from B&W, sometimes it is better. I like the clouds and shadows, it is dramatic.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the comments. The decision to make one B & W came during the PP stage, as I adjusted tones the more interesting they became in the foreground and that is what is important with a Deep Depth of Field image.

Great capture and the B&W process works fine. Its razor sharp though, Maybe just a little too sharp?
