11 Aug 22 Reply Thanks, Henry. I will try to use IR more in the future when I have foggy/misty conditions and compare it to my normal images.

11 Aug 22 Reply Thanks, Peter. I wanted to see if the IR was better than my regular camera for the fog. It was.

11 Aug 22 Comment Excellent image, Henry. The visual contrast of the bridge structure to the natural flow of the valley and fog is outstanding. I like that you used the leading line of the road to lead the viewer through the image. To me, the fog makes the image and provides the perfect backdrop for the bridge! Good crop and processing.
Well done!

11 Aug 22 Comment Nice lens distortion correction, Jim as it appears very natural and keeps all of the horizon/lines flat and verticals intact. As always, your PS techniques are spot on. I did notice some haloing around the monument in the foreground. As a more purist, I like the B&W more than the amber tinted.

Great image.

11 Aug 22 Comment A very peaceful image, Henry. I like your crop as it shows more of the entire farm environment and better balances the visual weight of the house against the total farm. Well done.

11 Aug 22 Comment Good subject, Michael. My first thoughts in comparing the original with your B&W, were the same as all of the other commenters - the need to brighten up some of the rocks to better show the contours and depths of the rock face. This is typically done with dodging and burning to emphasize, sometimes exaggerate, the original capture, as you did in your revised image. To me, that is a much stronger image.

11 Aug 22 Comment Excellent capture, Peter. The silhouettes against the luminous water, banded by a dark foreground and interesting background makes an intriguing image. Good work!

11 Aug 22 Comment Great subject, Allen! Anytime you have photographers debating a crop, you know you have nailed all of the other elements of the image. Many crops, like this one, tend to be a matter of preference, so mine would only add to the mix. I definitely think your original image is too wide a shot and suggest you pick out the most essential log/cut marks to you, include them, and compose the crop around them. The sharpening helps if not overdone. For me, I would select a very tight crop.
