London docks (tickled)

[Denis]

An old one from two years ago, but nothing to do but look through old images of mine and play about a little with them.I dont tend to do a lot of monochrome..if any.. but I liked the scene.

I like how the sculpture seems to blend in with the cranes - they look as if they could all be part of the artwork.

There seems to be some detail in the sky and I wonder if this could have been brought out to make the image more dramatic.

Good subject but maybe a little more contrast needed........

[Denis]

Any better?

tried a couple of tweaks using flickrs edit functions

I like that - though the original seems to have disappeared so I can't compare the two.

[Denis]

Yes Chris, I replaced the old file with a reworked one and it dropped the original. Sorry 'bout that!

Love the subject, Denis. Mono is something I haven't really got in to, and mainly because I don't seem to have a variety of suitable subjects. I like these, well done!!

I like this  Denis ... If you still have a copy of the original  one posted (I had a look earlier  before it was replaced) you could still rep-post it by editing the first post so that the difference can be seen. I like the work you've done to bring the sky up on the edit too .... If you didn't keep a copy  of that first one .... I have a copy ! I downloaded it as I liked it, with a view to try and twiddle ( Korky's  word ) the sky when I got the chance... Looks like you beat me to it  Nice one.

[Denis]

duly done

[Korky]

The sky is certainly better and makes the image more dramatic - but (on my laptop, anyways) it seems a little flat as a result.

Any chance you can post the original, Denis? It'd be nice to see what other mono buffs can do with it.

The old image has been reinstated at the top my Liege

Cheers, Denis - it'll be interesting to see what others come up with.

It's a hard one to edit - too much of the sky is within a lot of crane rectangles so not easy to select ... and I did try!
