2 Feb 21 Comment Very nice black and white conversion - it brings out the gradations in the shadows traditionally showing the amaryllis "in the shade" and the effex pro filter is a good choice. I agree about giving them some more space. Feb 9th
2 Feb 21 Comment Thanks for a great image Hung. The undulating terrain blending from foreground to midground to background gives it perspective and depth. I agree the sky is too bright and does not have much to complement the scene. Like the expert comments I would also want to work on the foreground by using a gradient tool to lighten up slightly and crop. The sky might respond to the tools suggested but not much, so I would replace the sky with luminar 4 and work from there. Using the jpeg, although not ideal, the attached is what I came up with - incidentally the sky is from Oklahoma. Feb 9th
2 Feb 21 Comment We see them in Oklahoma, your neighboring state, but not as many this year for some reason. I always thought the flight was from or to New Orleans?
I agree that getting the white to show well is a challenge - the pundits say the morning "golden hour", but that's way to early for me! 		Feb 9th
2 Feb 21 Reply Great image! your selection from the original gives a sense of time and geological forces flowing with the lines. However, seeing the original makes me agree with Karen's comment that it too is very appealing. Thanks for sharing this. Feb 9th
2 Feb 21 Reply Thanks for your comment. Reminds me of golf when you buy a set of clubs - very individual and brand-specific - but better to stay consistent. I agree the crop is helpful in attaining a better black and white. Feb 9th
