Thanks Mark. At the moment I took the original photo I was trying to capture the ensemble of the two buildings and the moon. Ideally I would have preferred to be much further away and use a telephoto lens that would have made the moon appear larger for impact ( of course I can do this (( or replace the moon )) in Photoshop but I wanted to minimize the editing).

Stephen - thank you for your comments. I have reedited the image and posted it as a response to Adrian's comments.
Not sure what the structures were - they were part of old French fortifications on the island of Corsica. |

Adrian - thank you for sharing the link. Actually for this season I am planning on two projects : (1) Using panoramic crops and even as far as cinematic crop of 2.31/1 and (2) monochrome images using a square crop. You are correct that the cropping ratio does contribute to the impact of an image.
I have reworked my image to incorporated suggestions received from everyone : added some space to the left of the left tower and some space to the bottom of the image using content aware ( not generative fill as I am still not sure about wanting to use generative AI in my images ), then transformed to give vertical accuracy to the towers; brightened the moon and the fence; kept the separation between the two towers and tried to place the moon right in the middle. |

Pete - great concept, determination and techniques to elevate an "old teapot " to a great image. Can you elaborate on using a tight, square crop on the final image - |

Emil -I like both the color image and the B&W image. The tight composition is very effective.
By the way I have version 2 or 3 of Nik Software - they now have Version 7 available. I'm wondering if I should upgrade - does the new version offer new capabilities/filters or is simply an update of the interface

Great image - captured my attention, drew me in and made me linger on it for a while looking at the station and the tracks and the skies - it merits being displayed in the US national park brochure. |

Great image. I live in the Toronto area ( close to Lake Ontario and Lake Erie ) and find that the Great Lakes inspire many photographs - especially ones that demonstrate the amazing vastness of the lakes. I often find that landscape photos taken in the full sun show better in B&W - |

Loved the image and the effective post processing. I am curious about the comment " kept everything the same as original for Journalism " . I am trying to understand PSA rules - is this related to what type/amount of editing is permissible? |

This is an honor for me to view an image taken with an Hasselblad. I thought a different crop of the image may create a moody minimalist image . |

Oliver - thank you for the input. Indeed I think the position of the camera and the wide angle used may have caused some distortion. In LR I used Transform to try to align the structures to the vertical but it did not succeed on both structures. I could isolate both structures and process them separately. The separation between the two structures did bother me - I know that there is a technique in PS called Content Aware Scale that could be used. As I am new to PSA would that amount/type of editing be acceptable especially in images submitted to competitions? |
