Giggleswick B&W

Thanks for looking
Not something i do much of but here goes. A beautiful walk by the river but could not find an angle to do it justice. This looked OK, but no more, in colour but decided to try B&W. C&C please.

Have the original PSD so will play more if people have suggestions.

Roger

Re: Giggleswick B&W

I like the composition, especially the way the bridge and the road lead your eye in to the shot. The foreground seems to dark to me I'd be tempted to use the Shadow/Highlight Tool to lift the foreground while leaving that wonderful sky untouched. The same can be achieved with a curve but the Shadow/Highlight Tool makes it very easy.

cheers

Dan

Yes I thought it was a little to dark. The sky looks perfect and the picture is great. If you could change the those darker area's, then it is a great picture.

Re: Giggleswick B&W

I really like this, and I'm not sure if I'd agree it's too dark, but I can see some masking evidence on the trees in the middle, behind the last house, where they go from being black to having lots of detail

Re: Giggleswick B&W

Thanks all. Will have another go. J you are right that I did masking. Bracketed shots and the sky is from one stop under. Funnily enough those trees were in full sun and I did not touch them in masking

The original colour
