Thank you for all the feedback, and apologies for my absence for the discussion. I don't have enough experience with architectural photography to have a vision for this or most buildings. Diana's crop does seem to simply the image and make it more abstract. I agree increasing the contrast helps, too. Perhaps when I finish my office move I can revisit this image and incorporate some of your ideas. |

You're ahead of me this month. Is something like this what you had in mind, or did I still leave too much? |

The high key effect seems to work well for this image. I also like the flip. I've always tried to avoid having things come in from the corners of images, and thus have a rather strong personal bias against that. Thus, my own preference is to have the stem moved out of the corner as it is in the color image. However, I'm not certain where/why that bias originated. |

This is a nicely captured image of a rose. The beautiful details in the petals lend themselves well to monochrome. I agree with the suggestions to darken the background. The halo effect Stephen mentions usually occurs when I try to darken backgrounds or selected areas with the adjustment slides for shadows and highlights if I make more than the smallest adjustment. There are several tutorials and videos online about how to remove and avoid these halos, but I've not explored them enough to have a favorite. I wish I found the editing process even a fraction as interesting as taking the photo, but I fear I'm not a very patient digital photo editor. |

I agree with others' suggestions to shift the image to place the outlet in the upper left portion of the image. I also played some with the contrast to better emphasize the shadows, which I like. Unlike the others, I think I would remove the black dot since it pulls my eye away from the outlet, but of course, you should do as you prefer. |

I don't have much to add to the ideas that have already been shared here. I, too, like this image in monochrome, and I think the closer cropping that Diana suggested helps to eliminate the bright spots and bring my attention to the women. |

You've done a nice job composing this image, and the buildings in the background help with the context. I agree with Diana that I believe it would help for the background barns to be a little darker to avoid drawing my interest away from the young men. I attempted to make an illustration, but just ended up getting brown barns, so I gave up on that. |

Welcome to Group 32, Asbjørn.
It's interesting how bright most of the buildings are in this image when contrasted with the dark hillside and water. I agree that the monochrome conversion adds a sense of going back in time. Personally, I probably would have brightened the hill some more and perhaps cropped a small amount from the bottom of the image, but without losing the reflections highlighted in the water, which I also like. |
