continuing with this series today looking back as we commenced our walk - the house at Welford Pk. the light seemingly against us but worth showing methinks.
Many thanks for all c/c's on yesterdays upload always grateful for your time. I promise to catch up later, still chasing my backside but good to be busy rather than sitting on my haunches with nowt to occupy my timeSmile
dont ask how I managed V2 I tried a few things and would not be able to comfortably do it again, I am in a fog at the moment where camera raw is concernedWink
Time permitting V5 may be the best of the daySmile

Lovely composition and colour tones and some interesting little details. I like the swan and its reflection - Carole

Love the POV and composition Ann, shadows are excellent, but I think a touch more contrast would make this even better.

V2 conveys the light better - but why clone out the swan???

Superb shot Ann. The whole scene IMO is a delight. Maybe would have helped with just a tad more contrast ( V2 is better ) but thats a minor matter.

Thanks for the pm - you've found the swan again! As you mentioned, V3 does look over-sharpened to me, particularly in the foreground reeds - but I don't share the current obsession with sharpening.

Hi Ann
V3 is better, you only had to open in Photoshop and go to Brightness and Contrast and just slightly adjust the contrast to make a difference.

Very nicely composed shot, Ann: love the slightly lower light levels in V 1 and the overall warmth of the scene, so it's V 1 for me. Like the presence of the swan too, and as Moira has indicated, V 3 does seem a tad oversharpened to me.

Nicely composed image Ann, I did decide for a change as you have four versions to read all the other comments. As it is I pretty much agree with everything Moira has said, version two for me has a much more balanced look regarding the light, V3 is definitely way over sharpened to the point its distracting. Unfortunately all digital images require some sharpening especially if you are shooting raw, personally I don't do any of the sharpening in the raw converter, rather I use the unsharp mask tool in Photoshop, I believe it gives you more control. Still everyone will have their own views on that, but for me V2 works the best, a well composed and well balanced image.

Best Matt

You may be in a fog but, for me, V2 and V3 are the best. Both well composed with good light. My only down is that they seem a little over sharpened to me.

Gosh Ann, so many choices, so many decisions. I'm with Ronnie on this - prefer the lower light levels and the swan. The actual composition is really good, has a lovely balance to it.

I think V1 has a good atmospheric look Ann. V3 & V5 do look over sharpened.
If you want control over your sharpening you don't want to be using the USM. High Pass filter layer is the way to go.

A superbly composed riverscape Ann, v1 is by far the most natural and the best.
