The "Post your pictures here" thread.

Thank you - It is indeed (taken from 1 RAW unfortunately)

I completely agree with what you're saying, I don't think the strong reflection in the water helps matters at all in the foreground as there is little contrast between the land and water.

Still plugging away at it though, few tweaks here and there still to go

The B&W version uploaded here actually looks cracking in print - got it A4 size and mounted. The impact it offers in print is pleasing but it'll still niggle me for a while

Here's what an unaltered version looks like, the lighting is extremely harsh as you can see (shot at wrong time of day but unfortunately I didn't have time to hang around for the sun going down!)

The original is stunning as well!!!

I think you can make out the difference between foreground and background in the original easier than the mono version. As you say the strong reflection doesn't help to differentiate the two but there is enough of a contrast difference in the original to pick it out. I can imagine it printed at a larger scale works though!

It reminds me of the scene in Lord of the Rings where Frodo and Sam are heading over the dead marshes towards Mordor!

This is a photo I considered enterting into the Abstract contest we had a few months ago. Do you prefer the colour or black and white?

There was an old abandoned hospital near me a few years ago... was great for exploring...

Shame I didn't have a camera tho, as it's all been turned into houses now.
