Please post your crop so we can see it! I love it when people post images with changes. |

Yes, he's blurry because of the very long exposure. Even if he had posed for me, which he wasn't, I think there would have been a motion blur. |

I have the same shot without Joe in it, I'll look for it. I also thought he provided a sense of scale, which is why I included him, but I find his bright orange gloves very distracting. |

For me the bridge really was part of it, it didn't occur to me on site to capture the falls alone.... lack of imagination! |

I did use a filter, a Platinum™ 77mm Variable Neutral Density (ND) Lens Filter.
I do agree that the falls alone would make a good picture, but I have other images that do that better.
I've looked at a couple more of what I took (I took way too many!) here's another crop of the falls alone. |

It's hard to keep track of slider work. The only way is to retain your before and after .psd file or to get a screen grab of where those sliders are. But no need to do that, really. I just wanted to know if you had used anything else. |

My school just went to remote teaching, which means that I, as a substitute teacher, will have no work for at least two weeks. I hope to do what you suggest during that time! |

A beautifully balanced composition! Right out of the camera! I would not crop any. I think that little last crane to the left is necessary balance to the round mass of the building on the right. Beautiful diagonal line of the wharf. Fabulous textural contrast between the water and the metallic structures and then the sky.
At first I was going to say I favored the color version. The way you have it (is that the result of slider work?) the varying shades of yellow/gold complement each other.
But on further study (it's definitely an image that rewards study) I realized that the central crane is slightly out of focus- probably the movement of the boat. This is more obvious in the color version, the B&W minimizes that. So if you are deciding which to hang on the wall, I'd go with B&W, but both images do a great job of showing off your skill. |

On a personal note, I have to say, infra red (a type of photography I've never attempted) images have always seemed a bit creepy to me. Or maybe they just make the world look creepy. In the IR version of your foto, for instance, the infra red makes the foliage look like something devouring the rock.
It seems to me that every single one of your changes was an improvement. In the B&W version we have depth, and as you said, drama.Your final is lovely, I have no suggestions.
Though I've lived in NH since July, I've only been over to Maine once (see my August photograph). Sadly, in the time of Covid, we stick to a narrow space and shortened distances. I'm glad I have photography as a hobby, as otherwise I might not get out at all! |

Catherine, I love your composition, it makes me think of those Chinese ink landscapes. And it is so textural! I feel like I could run my fingers over it and feel it.
I'd like to know a little more about how you brought out those colors-was that just slider work? |

Henry, here is a rare example of a capture being almost perfect right out of the camera. The light and warmth of the gold-reds are nearly perfect.
I had the same thoughts as some of the previous commenters - in cropping, did you lose something? To me the red "pinwheel" (to me it looks like a star) complements the burst of color of the red leaves above it. A crop that lines things up vertically and uses the green foliage to guide the eye might work a little better. See my rough attempt.
I am now wondering if I overcropped my own image. See what you think. |

Wow, Julie, you did a great job with post here. Perfect crop, good job of straightening the horizon line!
I agree that a little layer work to make the colors pop is worth trying.
I am not as distracted by the vegetation in the middle as others are, but it wouldn't hurt to blur them or remove them as suits you.
What a great catch, from a car window, no less! |

Wow, Jamie, what an image!
I've seen the bones from the killing fields in Cambodia and the catacombs in Paris where the plague victims and revolutionary war dead were buried. I assumed when I first saw your picture that the bones were those of plague victims, but I just looked it up and they are not! The Franciscans dugs up the bones of ordinary people to create their chapel! Not very nice....
For me the picture is cropped quite nicely. The Black and White adds volume to the skulls. Did you try cropping out the darker collection of (femurs?) on the right? I tried playing with it and in the end I think your choice was the best. Great find in your collection, and hopefully, a happy memory! |
