Well done I am a big fan of Sun Rays
What I find so intriguing is how broad the rays are, I am wondering if it tied to your iPhone?

Agree with your thought but the models were yards in front of the engine so as you moved left you started to pick up rail cars in the background photo bombing the shot

The sad truth is people steal the hood ornaments from the older cars. I have been to Old Car City four times because I like the challenge of processing the decaying machines and turning them into my art. Each visit there were fewer cars with the nice hood ornaments.

Water drop photography is a genre that I would love to try as long as it is someone else's set up. Patience is not a strong of mine. Kudos to you for trying this on.
I thought I would try your image in the LR develop module (same tools available in Camera Raw) First I tried select subject and it selected the entire droplet so I inverted it to get the background and darkened it. I repeated the process but retained the droplet and lightened it. I placed several radial filters on the droplet surface some on the innermost wake some on the entire surface trying to emphasize the texture of the wake. I used the exposure, texture, and clarity sliders to varying degrees. I placed a radial on the hot area on the right to burn it down. Then I finished with two linear gradients one tilting in from the left to lighten the area consistent with the droplet and then one tilting in from the right and darkened it.
Fun with water drops for both of us
Thanks
Emil

My two cents...
I think your experimentation is marvelous and will allow grow you to grow as macro photographer.
I suggest shooting this again but with the paper folds going from lower left corner to upper right corner so it is a leading line in effect, maintain the pen nub strategy by keeping it pointed to the Y in yours. and then burn the edges so only the writing near the pen is readable, some cropping may be required.

Love the mood in this shot - it rocks so to speak
As I thought about your photo I concluded a square crop would solve a couple of issues of distracting elements like the instrument to the subject's right. I also darken his sax slightly.
The result is a study of two musicals at a jazz club, the picture within your picture.

I love shooting old cars and then rendering them in BW. Your shot for March and processing are spot on as Pete noted.
I thought I'd try a different look for you to consider. I wanted to focus on the left front quarter and the chrome grill, and keep a little more hood and fade the right part of the cropped image.
Thanks

Thanks for your feedback. Sometimes you think what you are seeing on my computer is ready to go but it isn't so I agree with your idea of flipping the image back to its position

Love the wispy clouds that were with you the day you shot this they offset the textured landscape nicely.
If you decide to darken the seen, don't go too far it would do disservice to the nice sunny day you had on the road

My eye goes past the horse and buggy into the bright area as if I am looking for the light at the end of the tunnel....Particularly since the horse blanket, wagon cover and building are also hot.

Dynamite work that brings the viewer deep into your image automatically
My eye immediately goes up the walkway and into the walker all the while catching the light foliage along the path.

I am in your camp regarding shooting trees whether its IR or color.
I like your viewpoint and processing with the lightest tree branch your subject.

At first I didn't follow your comment about the path taking you out of the scene but as I return I see what your saying in that the path is just a stub and your eye can go down the path just as easily as into the mausoleum. Interesting...
I am going back there and give this place another go.
Thanks

Clever way to create a Levitating Lady
My eye goes straight to her.

I like your surgical use of Darken/Lighten center....
The grass is way too hot. Not sure if you can fix in camera by taking two shots and stacking in PS?

I did give the center portion of the image some thought as I was processing. I wanted to burn the opening to the left of the big tree that goes into the background, it seemed too bright and would draw your eye there first. So I left the center dark in keeping with Sun angle.
Thanks for feedback
