The sky is wonderful the way you captured it. I do a lot of MW photography and it is a challenge for get them right in B&W but this works very well.
I also like the contrast, both photographically and metaphorically, between the old fortress and the infinite sky.
My first reaction was that I wanted to see more of the fortress. I'm wondering if you have access to the location or if this was a travel photo, etc.? I have had good success with landscape MW photos, and it might be worth the attempt to try that if you have access to the spot again to get in more of the fortress.
I've also had good success with doing 2 photo panoramas - you need to use a special mount and the setting can be challenging depending on the size of the lens, but instead of doing large panoramas using 10-20 photos merged together, I used only 2 side by side - done in portrait mode - to get one large landscape photo - almost like a large format camera.
Thanks for sharing this image with us.

I also couldn't help noticing the comparison/contrast between this photo and Steve's. I was going to suggest lightening up the foreground until I saw your comments and what you were trying to convey, and now I see that and it works very well as you processed it.
I look forward to any other IR photos you have.
Thanks

This is a really nice image, Kirsti! The original looks like it could be a watercolor. The monotone works very well also. Funny, I can't help seeing a praying mantis staring at me when I look at it!
I like the placement of the subject against the out of focus background. And I understand how you chose to show more beauty in the dying flower by keeping it monotone. Very well thought out, as always! |

Thanks, Barbara. I struggled with the contrast because I wanted to get some clouds reflected in the glass but couldn't find the right balance. Thanks for your comments. |

Thanks, Steve.
I wanted those reflections to give a sense of place.

Hi Kirsti and Ed,
Thanks for your comments. I struggled with the cropping - Kirsti, I think you got it right. And Ed, you are right about the black rectangle being a distraction. I do like the original orientation and the reflected lights on the top third. Thanks for your thoughtful comments. |

Hi Steve,
Welcome to the group and what a great introduction we get to you with such a wonderful photo. I don't have any constructive comments - the photo seems to work very well as is. I'm curious though as to how many shots you took before you had to vacate the rocks??
I look forward to more of your photos,

Ed, I really love this image. It looks like it could be a 1960's ad for a coffee product. I like how you've framed it and I like the pocket book in the middle of the table, the cut off ad slogan, which makes the viewer fill in the missing words, I like the intensity of the woman's faces, the earing on the woman on the right, and, in a little more of a quirky reaction, I love the way the woman on the right is holding her coffee - very unique way to hold it. This photo works for me on so many levels. Really nice capture! |
