The view from my parents house, a photo from Ringkobing, West

Photographer's Note

This one is the view from behind my parents house in Lemvig, the view is through the garden of a local sculpturer with the fjord in the distance.
The picture was actually pretty good in colors, but i like it better like this.
I will upload a workshop with the original.

Although the b/w version is very dramatic Harry,I think that I prefer the original.
There are lovely colours and details which I feel are lost by altering it,sorry.
It is a good composition with good textures.
TFS,regards Jean.

Hi Harry!
Another great conversion! I like both versions for different reasons. This one is much more impressive, I particularly like the clouds. Then, the colour version allows us to see the little flowers, the colours of the fields. Good idea to post them both.

The landscape is brilliant but the added stone artwork is a real plus giving great visual pleasure, good one

An impressive place, especially with that sky and this PP. The stone creates some mystery and originality. Interesting post.

Hi Harry!

Amazing surreal capture! Contrast and sharpness are just perfect. I almost can feel the texture of this sculpture. Besides that, excellent composition and perspective and right choice of b&w. Congratulations!

Best regards,
Hercules

thats some serious bW photo. i could see how boring the colored version is. you did well nothing more i can say

Hello Harry,
The B&W veriosn much more deramativ, esp. the sky, as if you used a red filter. Would probably look even better on TMax. Excellent composition and depth. Very well done.

I'm becoming more and more fascinated by this effect you use. I normally prefer colour but there is so much more drama in the B&W with the clarify filter on. The colour version seems insipid by comparison which is not what I expected. I couldn't resist trying a WS on the colour version. It in no way is to improve your work but to see what the comparison would be like with the clarify filter used on the colour version. I'd be interested in your reaction.

Again a great BW work.
I prefer this one, more eyecatcher IMO.
Superb light management, a great one.

Hi Harry,

the wahy you show this view was great. I like the sculpture details. Who made it?

Nice ideia to put it in B&W to me it is more pretty than the original one where the colors were soft and without life on it.

Thanks
Andre

Definitely, your b&w are cool ! Excellent dramatic sky, winding road and shadows.

TFS,

Andreea

What kind of PP do you use ? Virtual Photographer, maybe ?

Hi Harry,

I like this one and image 2, both have good quality. This one looks older and more dramatic, whereas the colour version looks fresh and bright. Great sharpness in both, the pov is perfect and the addition of the sculpture is a masterpiece. A great shot, well done my friend.

Regards

Stephen
