Pent means five so 5 separate canvases

I like it!
I believe that "pentic" must refer to the number of canvases, but it's a new word for me.

Looks like Noah's Ark crashed into an apartment building. I guess I have a odd mind.

what is a "pentic?" and does the word refer to the bldg., your photo, or what?
AS someone else just said it means 5 panes, panels, or so. Thanks for looking. RBorud

Hi All A new soccer stadium was built about 8 blocks from my house, and I have many images of the building process. After it was finished, I began being artsey with the building as I thought it was so other worldly. I did what I thought was a nice portrait of it. Then it occured to me it might become a fine pentic. I now present this to all who would look. Again thanks for looking and please enjoy. RBorud

Linda, I think Bill’s originally posted uncropped version provides the necessary touch of greater sense of the desolation of the scene of the “forgotten graveyard” than do the closer crops.

Dave I do agree with you it differs from documentation to a PLACE. I personally find a lack of context often lessens, when some times it can be very supportive. RBorud

It was suggested that more can be learned from this image. Rather than being the only one to benefit, I posted here so others may learn as well and perhaps more of us will be encouraged to explore B/W.
Bill Here is my suggestion, a bit more contrast and only a bit darker, easy with levels. Then make two layers and do a very delicate vignette on the upper layer in case one has to selectively erase through to adjust. Just saying to very nice image. RBorud

Linda Here is another using more of the described Edge retaining smoothing and then a bit of something called Sharpinion, and then went around with a very small softening brush to sort of sand the edges, perhaps you will like the better. Russ

Russ, your results are so similar to my posted jpg that I had to zoom in to 100% to find the difference 
"Edge retaining smooth" is a new term for me! Many thanks for sharing another software we don't hear about that often.

But I felt the using it lightly and using a very small softening brush on obvious edges, (witch I did not do ) would do a good justice to your fine image. Russ

Linda here are both the jpeg and raw with a treatment that is in Corel (called edge retaining smooth) with their token sharpening which is very gentle.

Very cool - nice job! I've done some triptychs using clipping masks which also seemed to work well.
Thanks for looking and commenting yssirk. As I call them pentics, for lack of a better word, they are fun to work with, I am getting a collection of these, I am considering putting more up. RBorud
