Thanks very much for the kind words. Your comment on the image just staying on the computer is something I am working on.

Photoshop will work great for focus stacking but Helicon is much (much) faster and can also batch process. |

In my opinion, the contrast one is an improvement over the original. |

I love images like this that forced me to think about what's going on in the image. This is really a good subject for monochrome because of all the different designs.
The lighting is excellent. Very nice image! |

No problem.
The original image of the rafters was focus stacked. I wanted to get maximum sharpness. Probably three or four images taken at different focus points and then stacked using Helicon software. The four images with different focus points were exported out of Lightroom into the helicon software, and the software blended the four images together into one sharp image.
The Photoshop part was to take that image into Photoshop, create a duplicate layer and rotate the duplicate image layer horizontally.
The Photo shopped image was then converted from color to mono chrome using the camera raw filter.
The entire process is much easier than the way I described it!
Hope this helps but if you want more detail, I would be glad to discuss. |

Old clarinets make some of the nicest black-and-white shots! Your backstory about your late father-in-law really makes this image special. There is an awful lot of detail and your light painting experiment worked really well! I have often tried light painting with limited good results.
I wonder if the bottom left-hand corner of the black material could be darken down. My eye keeps getting drawn to it.
I'll bet there are some other macro shots of this clarinet that are just waiting to be taken. |

Very nice monochrome treatment! The black-and-white brings out so many more details than the Color Image. I wonder what your image would look like with some of the left-hand side cropped off. I don't think you need to have part of a chair and a person's shoulder on the left-hand side. I wonder how the image would look with a little more contrast. Street photography is a real art and this is a good example. |

I hate to see old structures, get torn down. This is a great example of using black and white. I think the black and white is far stronger than the Color Image. You got a good picture of the entire subject, I wonder if there are some interesting close-ups in this image.

I love images which really make me look closely to figure out what is going on. What a great face! I am not sure if it is the selenium treatment or if the image just needs some additional black tones. In my opinion, the image would be improved with some additional contrast, but that is just my opinion. |

I prefer the mono treatment to the color treatment, even though you have a classic red dress in the Color Image. The architecture really lens itself to black and white. I think the two people bring the image to life and without them it wouldn't be the same. I'm looking at your photo on an iPad and I'm not sure if the blacks are as dark as I would like. |
