rhythms of grace by cirrusminor

Quote: Nicely composed with a well balanced exposure. The water movement and clarity of detail in the foreground are excellent.

My thoughts exactly.

Very well controlled shot.

End To Autumn by NeilM

Glorious!

Stob Dearg by PaulHolloway

Hi Paul. This certainly looks sharper, but as you've taken the original down, I can't compare

As before, a great composition.

Marazion Morning by Chant57

Well worth the trip. Super image.

Calke Abbey Chapel by RLF

Nicely processed. I agree about the leaves top left. A little distracting.

Dreaming Light by Buffalo_Tom

Wonderful mono.

Storm Approach ... by sut68

Yup, great light. I like how it highlights the old tin mine, (I presume that's what they are?), buildings. Their clean lines contrast very well with their rugged surroundings.

Golden Trail by ringyneck

Nicely controlled exposure/processing.

Ardvrek Castle by AnnChown

V1 for me. Too much detail lost in V2.

Arches by RogBrown

Lovely shot Rog. So much to see. Love the colours and detail.

A different view of Silverstone by neill5409

I think the HDR treatment works reasonably well, giving a graphic like quality, on all but the sky. Here it is just too much.

Maybe blend in the sky from the original to make it more "real"?

Martyn

Loch Leven Mist by Sue_R

V2 for me. I prefer the slightly crisper look plus the island stands out a little better against the background.

Having siad that, I can see why you couldn't chose between the two!

Winter scene by bobalot

Ideally suited to mono. A great range of tones.

Deep Water and Still Rising. by Buffalo_Tom

You'll never get 455 people on that boat!!

THE HILTON by GERRYGENTRY

V1 for me. V2 is OK but I don't think there is sufficient variation in tones to make it work as well as the colour version where the subtle colours work well together.

Black Flood by Dennis_Bromage

A fine result indeed. Good combination of techniques.

Congrats on the award.
