Thanks, Jeffrey - I love it! Those adjustments really give it that cloud with "a silver lining" look also reflected in the water. |

I, too, like both versions. The colour image is full of winter light but there is a beautiful moodiness to the monochrome. I like David's edit with the fallen tree darkened and the house lightened. It melds the two forms into one giant "sculpture" that is the subject of this image. |

Yes, Cindy, good timing to capture this guy just off centre in an otherwise symmetrical image. Posters? Good cloning! I like both versions, David's with the toned down ceiling works, but also I think yours with the lighter ceiling draws my eye (like leading lines) to the light framing the figure in the doorway in the distance. |

Karl, you have captured great facial expressions and body postures for an image full of emotion. Although the fence in the background is probably on the diagonal I found the fact that it was not horizontal a bit of a distraction. But with the vertical bar on the left cropped out, I was able to rotate the image slightly and crop the foreground and the right side a little more tightly (it is a bit weird have that half body on the left, but see what you think). |

I, too, prefer the colour version if only because that colour palette is a favourite of mine. I also think that separation of the old truck from the background is less of an issue in the colour image. Great composition and detail in both. Fun taking a second look at an old image, yeah? |

I agree about the darker skies and also like the layered effect in the fore/mid-ground. Interesting editing, David - I like it and think the panorama crop also works well. |

I agree with Cindy, David, about the monochrome version - in the BW, we are drawn right to the woman's face, which works for me. Also the sharpness you have captured in your subject separates her nicely from the stone wall in the background. However, I too find her expression a bit jarring - not sure if it is her intended look or if she is merely squinting, but for me it doesn't fit with the baby in her lap, her hands softly touching its head. We had an interesting discussion last week in our photography club about facial expressions in portraits and whether they support or distract from the story. |
