You're more than welcome, Larry.
Anytime I'm able to make a useful contribution, I consider it a small
down-payment toward what I've learned from the list.

Walt sent me a version off list that inspired this different B&W rendering and
crop, which I thinks works a lot better:

I also twiddled, and recropped the color version.
Thanks Walt for the ideas.

A couple days ago, I had a few minutes to kill after lunch so the Insurance
agent's office would be open on my way past, and I played with my camera at our
local covered bridge. One picture that I attempted was of a tree against the
sky. I tried processing it a couple of ways to bring the tree out against the
sky.
I'm not sure whether it works or not, and if not, what to do to fix it.
Suggestions?

My vote goes to the color shot. I'm not sure what I'd do to improve it any. My
instinct is to deepen the shadows and /maybe/ nudge the contrast up a bit on
shots of this nature to bring it out a little more against the blue sky, but
that's my own aesthetic quirk/crutch.
I do like the look of that gnarled limb, right about the center of the scene.
If I were to do anything compositionally, I'd maybe lop it off right at the
elbow of the L-shaped limb near the left edge of the image, but that seems like
it may actually bullseye the most interesting element of the scene (gnarled
limb).
I'm sure you found all that immensely helpful, of course.
