Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent. Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature. Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread. Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

The colour, the black & white or trash them both?

Depends what you were trying to achieve when you took the image. I prefer the B&W.
Steve.

The B&W works better for me, although I'd prefer a conversion that doesn't blow the sky completely. The high contrast suits it, I just want a bit of detail at the top left.
So join in the chorus, and sing it one and all!
Thanks Steve and Patrick. I took it with a mono stock photo in mind and deliberately blew the sky for the added contrast. Given that mindset, I think I was always going to prefer the mono version but happy to ehar the opinions of others.
I'd love to have some dramatic clouds there but they're something of which we're in desparate short supply up here. (I could easily add some via PS but the stock site I use is pretty finnicky about manipulations) Simon

I had something more like this in mind. If you'd like me to take it down, let me know.
I think for a stock shot then the original conversion would be more useful, as it leaves space for text or whatever. If you were to submit a colour version I'd try to pull the sky down (maybe blend 2 RAW exposures) and up the blue saturation. Edit: Ignore the ugly JPEG artifacting - I don't think it adds to the shot  Last edited by rooboy on Sun May 07, 2006 8:14 pm, edited 1 time in total.

That looks good Patrick - much moodier than mine. I like. Thanks.

Thanks Marco, though I don't consider the composition anything remotely special! Simon

Hey Simon - you stock photo boy you
I like the mono version - and the version that Rooboy pulled out even better

Yeah - he's pretty good that boy. Maybe I should run all my shots by him first... Simon

Sorry Stockboy but I think the Rooboys version is better
