Thanks for your suggestion Jeffrey. I have done what you have suggested. |

Thanks for your comments Kathy. I took the photo when I went sailing and during a break on an island. The sailing can get quite rough so I only take a pocket camera in case of mishaps. However after reading your comments I have extended the canvas vertically then selected and stretched the upper part of the image. See below. |

Thanks for your comment Chuck. I actually prefer the colour version but I wanted the group to comment on the mono and not make the comparison. Attached is the colour version. |

I find it difficult to comment on still life so please do not take much notice of my comments.
I like the composition with the grapes hanging out of the bowl and the other grapes on the saucer. Having two main subject- the grapes and the flowers means the image is not over complicated. I like the textures of the wall and the bowl.
To improve the image you may consider darkening the bowl on the bright point and lightening the dark area in the centre. |

I think the contrast and exposure are very good and the image is pin sharp.
I would tend to agree with Kathy regarding the sky as it seems too black. Also I agree that it would be better to have a full or no door. Have you considered using sepia? |

This is an interesting image. I think the old time look works well. Possibly but debateable you could lighten the clock a little. I think the image is lacking a person but that is only my opinion. See below. |

Two very good images well caught. I prefer Mono 1 as I think the background distracts more in Mono 2. However I do like the skaters intense expression in Mono 2. To improve Mono 1 I would have preferred a Landscape format rather than square and I would lighten the skaters face slightly. I would also remove the highlights to the right of the skater. |

I like the image. How fortunate you were to photograph it. I think your dodging does enhance the image. I also think it has been improved by adding more contrast as seen in Jeffrey's version. In my version I have used "levels" to increase the contrast and then applied an ND Filter on the sky and finally used Gaussian Blur on the sky to mask the noise. |

I think both the colour and mono have advantages. I think the mono lets you concentrate more on the building whilst the colour is good as a whole. I like the colours of the sky and the building in the colour version. To improve the image I would remove the post on the left hand side. You said you wanted to create a spooky mood and as I had some spare time I thought I would give my interpretation to your image. See attached. I used NIK HDR Sinister before converting to B&W |
