62 Dec 25 Reply Thank you Pete for providing an alternate treatment to the image trying to mimic how an actual photograph taken in 1867 would appear today having survived almost 160 years. In a way it is amazing the photography has been around that long and more.

62 Dec 25 Comment Emil - having tried to photograph bees I know the challenge of being able to capture them as they don't stay still and the wind keeps moving the flowers. Great image and treatment.

By the way I am making the leap to DXO Photolab ( part of the same reason you use Pure Raw and also because I have a Fujifilm XT5 as my main camera )) and moving slowly away from LR/PS. I am concerned with the learning curve though.

Cheers

62 Dec 25 Comment Adrian - a fantastic image that displays your vision and patience to position yourself and your camera to capture the amazing symmetry and geometric shapes of the tower.

I would love to see the image enlarged to ( say 2 meters high ) to be able to fully appreciate the contribution of the raven. By the way is " bringing the nut home " a play of words on " bringing home the bacon ".

Cheers

62 Dec 25 Comment Mark - I share your thoughts that one feels overwhelmed by the sheer scale and the architecture and engineering of these cathedrals.

I believe the main character here is the man - while being small in scale he still looms large since it was men that built it. I cropped the image to emphasize the man and also point out that he and even the large pulpit are small in relation to the overall edifice.

62 Dec 25 Comment Hi Emil - Fantastic Image. Makes me realize what I missed when we had to cancel our trip to several National Parks in the area in April 2020 because of Covid.

The B&W treatment brings out details in the sand , sky and shrubs not really seen in the original. And the composition does emphasize the prominence of the Totem pole.

I did a slight crop at the bottom to take away a bit of the attention from the shrub .

Cheers

62 Dec 25 Comment Syed - congratulations on a great image. Were you the pilot to be able to have such an unencumbered view ?

I like Pete's treatment of the image as it adds an extra dimension to the image.

Cheers

62 Dec 25 Comment Pete - you captured and documented extremely well a too common and sad occurrence. Definitely the contrast between the circumstances of the man and the passerby comes through.

I did a slight crop to put even more focus on the main subjects.

Cheers
