Linda, Wow - you have cleared the place of people as if the only one left is this man eating his lunch! But the effect is dramatic and I may go with it. Did you use the PS Remove tool to remove the people - if so it has done a great job. I also like the darkening of the sky tools many thanks for the suggestions. It does create quite a different narrative but there's no reason why there should be just one for an image. |

Tom, welcome to the group and for showing us this image. It's a tiny image and I guess taken from a scan of a film negative. I like the minimalist aspect of the image and it would make a great Christmas Card image. It has the feel of a past time almost as at the start of photography - was that what you intended? on a larger version it would be easier to make more accurate comments about the areas on the left and far right which contain either a lot of noise or dust spots - but maybe those just add to the period effect. |

Kathleen, good use of mono as this cuts out a lot of bright distractions. I too would crop it in from the left. I also think it would benefit from a little sharpening. A good spot and as Gerard says the style v need is perfect. |

Linda, the image certainly works better in mono. I'm not sure how you can improve it so I put it through NIK but not the Silver Efex, the full range of filters and applied a Bleach Bypass filter increasing the detail in it and I think this helps gives the image more impact. See what you think. |

Gerard, this is quite a difficult image to critique! But here goes. Taken maybe in Spring I guess by the flowers at the bottom left and the buds on the trees, this still comes over as a rather forbidding building. It's kind of all locked up and its symmetry and stonework a little grim. But I like the way you have framed the front door and apex with the tree and the fact that its number 11 is symmetrical in itself. I'd be tempted to remove the small notice on the right of the door as we look at it as it kind of spoils the symmetry. |

Barbara, this is an interesting image as it breaks a lot of 'rules'! I think Gerard's treatment helps reduce the very white rails in the background but for me they still draw the eye away from the white horse. So I would suggest a crop up to the middle post. This changes the image a lot and you may prefer it as it is so as to show the bigger picture. |
