You make a good point about the building behind the north leg of the Arch. For now I will remove it

We enjoyed freedom to shoot anywhere along the bridge span last year because it was closed for construction on the Illinois side. I believe we were over halfway across the bridge (closer to the Illinois side) to shoot this waterfront sequence. If an opportunity arises to revisit this shot I will put your suggestion in play.

Great scene and it is great that you and your wife are pairing up for photo Ops.

I took my artistic license out of my wallet and tried a simple horizontal flip in LR which did a couple of things. The stream is now a leading line and the light area in the background works to bring you into the shot deeper. I lightened the foreground rocks using a large radial gradient and I use a linear gradient to lighted the background sky area that is now on the right.

I love what you created and pleased that you shared it with us. I have not explored using frequency separation technique but I need to check into it. I think your idea of warping the background is super, it makes your composition more powerful

You captured the flow of Gleason Falls perfectly and your camera position is great.

Food for thought: Lighten the banks on each side somewhat so you see the detail there (I used LR linear gradient tool), I used the LR radial gradient to bring up the water and reduced the highlights to avoid clipping, and brightened the background area where the stream starts to draw your eye deeper into the shot, and I cropped the left side to balance the image.

The work you put into this image paid huge dividends for me. Love the light, the detail, you name it

Frame it

Framing the village through the archway works great in color or BW

I am glad you sat down and took the time to render this image the way you wanted it to be. love the detail and light on the buildings My eye goes right up the cobblestone path.

My only though is the sky and clouds that you worked hard on. I am wondering if just a wisps of clouds would work better. My eye is drawn to the them and away from the buildings at first.

I brought the whites in the clouds on left down, added a little white to the clouds on the right for balance. I added a couple radial gradients to lighten the path just inside the archway, and I lightened the arch Food for thought

You raise an interesting point. There really is no place to rest your eye or simplifying crop that seemed to make sense. I tried another approach that I would like feedback. I used a technique to turn day into night by porting the Feb image into PS, adding levels adjustment layer in which I moved the midtown triangle to the right and masked the sky from getting too dark. I added a radial gradient on a diagonal to add light going to the tower.		 Feb 16th

This group always invents new ways to process IR and this is another clever way to add tone to our processing

Well done

Nicely done My eyes say this isn't snow patches on ice it is something seen under a microscope.

I echo the thoughts of my IR colleagues. You just go into the scene and appreciate the repeating trees along the way

66 Feb 21 Comment Jack,

This is a very interesting perspective that seemed somewhat confusing to my eye as I try to reconcile the sky and the ferns below.

I thought if we use the log as a diagonal by flipping the image horizontally with a crop you can bring the focus back to the ferns. I brought the clouds down as well

Sad backstory on this poor fawn. I think your processing is top notch but agree with you that it needs a tweek to bring it over the top

I decided to make the deer darker using the adjustment brush.
