11 Jun 21 Comment Thanks, guys. You're very kind. Jun 25th
11 Jun 21 Comment As you can see by my entry this month, subjects like this really appeal to me. Great base image, good choice of cropping. As the others said, it really tells a story. No suggestions. Jun 10th
11 Jun 21 Comment I love the image and I really like where Jim took it with his crop. One thing I found appealing in the original were the three round lights. I cropped it a bit differently to better emphasize those lights. Jun 10th
11 Jun 21 Comment I like this a lot. Composition is spot-on with the rocks forming a leading line moving from lower left to upper right. The bridge defines the upper third and creates a nice cross piece to the rocks. Sky isn't too interesting, but you included just enough for context. Processing is good with a nice range of tones from light to dark.
Monochrome was definitely the way to go here as the color version isn't nearly as compelling. 		Jun 10th

91 Jun 21 Reply Dang. I'll try harder next time. Jun 11th
91 Jun 21 Reply Thanks, Chan. Fortunately, I made a lot of images with a variety of compositions. On top of that, the clouds were moving pretty quickly so I have a lot of different options. I'll have to go back and take another look. Jun 11th
91 Jun 21 Comment As I said elsewhere, trees are great in IR, especially dead ones. You found a great composition here.
I took a crack at tweaking it a bit. I cropped down from the top, preserving the best of the cloud texture. I also did a hue/saturation adjustment in Photoshop, moving the tree a bit more toward yellow and bringing down saturation and lightness. I moved the blues more toward a natural sky color.
Your horizon line was off just a bit, so I fixed that as well. 		Jun 10th
91 Jun 21 Comment It has a nice, dreamy feel to it. Like Chuck, I decided to take a crack at an alternative process.
I liked the reflection, so I left in more of the foreground in my crop. I prefer the original orientation, so left that alone, but otherwise followed your side cropping.
I then opened up shadows and brought down highlights with a shadows/highlights adjustment. I played with curves and added a black and white adjustment, tinting similarly to what you had. Finally, I added a slight vignette.		 Jun 10th
91 Jun 21 Comment Trees can be wonderful in IR which your image demonstrates very well. I think I would have included a bit more of the foreground as the bottom of the composition feels somewhat cramped. I generally like square compositions, but in this case, I think a 5x4 might be a better choice.
Otherwise, I really like this.		 Jun 10th
91 Jun 21 Comment Terrific subject and nice treatment overall. Otherwise, I concur with Chuck and Chan. Jun 10th
91 Jun 21 Comment Nice composition and treatment. You picked a great subject for IR and I like the way the walkway leads my eye through the image. It does feel blown out in the center. I see information in the original image, so you might take a look and see if those details are recoverable. Jun 10th
