Tighter cropping suggestion works for me

Thanks LuAnn
I always like the fact that you include the LR editing details you use. It helps all of us replicate the result you created for feedback
I should follow suit

Thank you Israel
To the left is a wildlife refuge area with ponds and of course the road back to the St Louis area where I live.
Thanks for your comments

Here is a version in which I used just the adjustment brush to darken the archways and I lightened the foreground floor to lead you in. My goal, whether I achieved it or not, was to accentuate the beautiful arches in the fort without losing the bricks and plaster wall texture. Just a subtle update

It was not intention to do so. In my haste to create the version I shared with Israel I may have not rezeroed all the sliders

I am thinking a little darker in the shadows but not haunted castle dark (it is Oct) Let me give a copy a shot. I think the goodness of these digital dialogues is we get to see alternate renderings by commenters that my not change your mind for your submittal this month but affects your thinking down the road

Agree about cloud direction I took a shot in the dark since it was windy and nice grey clouds overhead.
Luckily this image worked because the cloud streaks were about in plane with the bridge from my shooting vantage point and provided a backdrop

You had to endure a lot to take this shot. Good for you on the commitment.
I am a big fan of long exposure photography so good marks for your composition. I also like the simplicity.
Your processing is just fine. I wanted to share with you another take on the same shot. I used a grad filter in LR and lightened the water just a tad, I used an adjustment brush on the hull to lighten it so some detail showed, and I used the grad filter on the sky to darken it.
Regards
Emil

Leah,
I think you hit the DOF nail on the head. This is a case where your shot is straight out of the camera so to speak, a rarity these days.
I ask that you include your meta data in your writeup so we can see your step
Thanks

Nice work. Adding texture is not always a recipe for success but it work for me. I think the tallest daisy looks good.
We are a monocular group so I think your image falls in bounds.

Hi Bob
The writeup is about the Grand Tetons and the image is Fort Pulaski??
I like the image very much, the archways, brickwork, wood floor etc. Great lines and texture. The viewer wonders who or what is around the bend.
You are a LR user so I am wondering if darkening the shadows a bit with the adjustment brush or radial filter would make sense. I am thinking it adds a little depth and adds to the contrast.

Your crop made the shot in my view. Good work
FYI: I use Topaz Denoise AI and it does a nice job and in most cases retains the original sharpness

Trees and IR go together like Mom and Apple Pie in my book I love your dreamy composition with a splash of light here and there. No crop needed. My only wish I had is: a little more grass in the foreground to set the stage.
Well Done

Love your composition, it draws me to this person you captured. Gary has provided us with some toning ideas on portraiture that are very worthwhile. My only only caution is that with the black background, the subject "moves farther away" from us the darker the toning becomes.

You have captured the NY hustle and bustle as well as Vincent's just starting to fill the outside dining area and is a contrast in pace. My eye follows the open tables to the background where the folks are heading here and there. I think the BW rendering of this "classic NY street scene" to steal from Gary works well Nice work

Yes black spots should have been removed. I dropped the ball I like your suggestions of faster tilt

Shooting through the opening in the old barn was a great idea. There is plenty of detail of the barn in the shadows. The corn rows have an interesting IR effect in that the tops are darker and provides a layer of separation to the sky above. My guess is that you left the image tilted to emphasize the barn's condition? A fine Midwestern shot

One thing about our group that I appreciate is the new ideas that spring forth and breathe freshness into IR imagery. I really like your artistic rendition of the Helebore, nice pattern and texture. A St Louis BW photographer, Jack Curran, produced shots like this of leafy plants.
Well Done
