I understand your rationale. I truly hope you can find the Preacher

I wish my Sony camera could shot multiple exposures like your Yarrow image. It opens up another dimension for creating pleasing images.
I agree with Pete's idea of adding a vignette around the image periphery to create an area for the eye to rest.

Thanks for providing your thoughts about the dark areas on each side of your subject tree. It works for me

Pete,
I agree with LuAnn your candid portraits of people you see on the streets are amazing. Flipping the preacher is spot on. I tried one thing I reduced the highlights all the way down -100 to add a little darkness.

Mark,
Nice shot within the monastery. Your travel brings to some wonderful areas.
Food for thought: In LR I did a select object on da Gamma's ornate tomb and raised the exposure to open up the dark tomb, the hands being bright to begin with I painted with a brush and lowered the highlights. I then used a linear grad pulled down from the upper right corner and reduced the highlights of the ornate ceiling some and added a second linear grad drawn from the lower left and increased the exposure to open up the shadows.
I am not sure how the add a glow around the area of his hands at the moment
Regards
Emil

Your mono shot is good to go in my opinion. It captures a day in the life of this hard working man so well, bending over to pick up the treated hides and place them in a drum that dries them I am guessing.
Well done

The best camera you have is the one you have with you and in many cases it is our iPhones that save the day photographically.
Your processing is well done. Pete offers a good idea about adding more foreground but your vantage point for the shot doesn't give you a lot to work with.
I wondered if the church exposure was increased just a bit would help it to standout in your photo? I did a select subject in LR which picked the church and increased exposure to .24 and I reduced the highlights -18 to keep the bright spots from creeping in.

I love to photograph trees especially if they have character like your photograph does. Your processing is well done the light areas of the trunk and branches brings your eye to the subject and it helps to have the light area behind the tree. Well done
The cool thing about BW is that time of day is not that important, the Sun can create lights and darks for you that you can take advantage during processing.
Food for thought, does a square crop work on your scene?

I was inspired by the color in our groups' images this month so I wondered what would happen if I added a touch of color to your image...I used a linear grad in LR on the lily pad field to add a little yellow and green and boosted the texture, clarity and dehaze sliders. I added a linear grad at the top to add a little yellow, dehaze, texture and reduced the highlights.

Emil

Melanie,
I like your image particularly the tones of the building, the wall structure and the rocks next to it.
I decided to tweak your image just a little using LR to use the tones i mentioned to bring your eye to the building. I lightened the wall and the large rocks, there is some nice shadows and lights there. I darkened the foliage and added a little green. The building itself I added clarity and darkened it just a touch. I cropped the bottom.

Henry,
A very crisp shot of the lighthouse and adjacent building captures your eye immediately with a complimentary "soft" grey sky for background combined with the white grass next to the fence lead you into your subject.
Maybe a cliche shot for some but I think you made this one uniquely your work. I like it.

I am very jealous of this location, it lends itself to gorgeous IR images (like this one here) probably any time of year.
I think adding pink was a creative processing idea, I like the subtle touch you used. Your eyes have to move down the lane to pick up the pink color changes.
Our IR is Art should be the motto of this skilled group.
Well done
Regards

If a bird is going to pop over to your table to sample your food then it is only fair that you get to take its picture. An amazing story
Considering how impromptu this shot was it worked out quite well.
You could crop your image and make the bird a star....

Arik,
I have not seen an IR image processed the way you did. I like it. IR should be art to the viewer and this image is just that
