Hunsdon Lock in Winter

[Denis]

Taken in 2016 just before i upgraded to a D5300 from my first DSLR D3000.

Tickled using Silver Efex..finished with a Topaz preset.

Nicely composed, I think possibly the whites could be bumped a little

[Korky]

That one really works for me - the composition is excellent and I love the processing.

I think Rye's correct about the whites. I'd be tempted to add a curves layer and then tweak very gently.

That's really nice.  I agree with Rye and Korky - sort of.  The whites are there in the sky.  I think it is the mid tone that need a tweek.   Just needs the centre of the curve pulling up.  But very  well conceived.

I have to say Denis  your composing technique is really working ... ...  I would tweak the  white   too..  Do you use Photoshop?

 Here's an edit I did ... tis  a minimal  amount  needed   ...as I see the lads have said too..

Barely noticeable unless you put them side by side

A really attractive image - the edited version just has that extra bit of punch though.

[Clicker]

I noticed  just slightly left of centre a slightly  coloured patch ...  a bit  like a sepia burn ... ...? or is it my ruddy eyesight playing tricks??.. It is a really nice composition  no matter ... I 'd hang that ....

[Denis]

There are two patches that for the life of me cannot explain. I do like your version better clicks,  comments by all noted and absorbed

and no, I dont have photoshop.

The colour spots disappear if you re apply the mono conversion.  I've done that here and just stretched the mid tones.  The reason for working the mid tones rather than the whites is that doing so, doesn't degrade that bit of sky in the trees.

Sorry  Denis  I didn’t remove them  on purpose as I wanted to just bring a bit more contrast as suggested  but point out the sepia type blob for  you to notice .  I didn’t think you used Photoshop Denis  however you can remove that coloured blob in other ways using the nik  collection  too  without compromising your  other  tones ...  do you have the whole Nik fx collection or just the silver FX  bit?
