For those who have been with Pixalo a few months, you might remember I did a very similar shot to this some time ago (it is still in my gallery) but I felt there was a lot I didn't like about it as it lacked enough contrast to bring the fountain to the fore with the rock behind and castle above.
When i was in Edinburgh in December, I decided to have another go at it. I was severely restricted because of the area all being fenced off due to the preparations for Hogmanay (which ended up cancelled due to the weather anyway!) but I have given it mono treatment again and I went for a tint because the castle is metallic and tinted in colour so I feel it works. I also feel it makes the sky and castle a bit more imposing and dramatic, especially as I added a vignette to draw the focus onto the two main areas, fountain and castle.
So for those who can remember it, is this better? For those who can't, what do you think of this one?
Cheers,
Rob
