I like the composition and toning, but agree with
Godfrey that it's a bit flat. Maybe a little work with
the dodge and burn tools - darkening the corners,
lightening the center near the cabin - would add some
snap to the shot. One of my favorite old darkroom
books (the Morgan  Morgan darkroom guide) has a
comment to the effect that burning in the edges of a
print will imrprove almost any photograph - a sweeping
generalization but one that seems to be more or less
true!

I do like the sepia effect and the old time feel
though.

Re: Peso Remains

2007-10-12 Thread David J Brooks
Thanks to all who commented. Seems this ones a winner, which is good,a
s i really like this one.

It is a bit to sepia even using the low setting on the camera, and i
did tone it down a bit with the photofilter.

The camera atleast does not over ride the phot but makes a copy, so
i'll trya standard BW rendering.

Subdued light seems best for these type of shots, and that what we had
all weekend.:-)

This look similar to the one at the horse farm, but in better shape.:-)

I was trying for that old time feel, glad i was able to do that.

Thanks again

Dave

Not so sure I like the sepia treatment,  but that's a very nice shot. Lots of

That place looks familiar.  The shack on the property that your

I love the conversion - has a great, vintage look to it.  Lovely
