Like both shots dmeyer, but the moose is wonderful! It happens that I LOVE moose!


Me too! But, first and foremost, I've loved horses all my life and moose just seem like big, not-so-pretty horses to me! :lol:

the river is really good.For the moose try a little dodge and burn on the water and it might balance the picture and change the feel.Sometimes in B&W that's all you need to really altar the feel.Also by making the water darker (burn) and making the reflection of the moose (dodge)you would make the moose itself pop out and become the subject. Learning to D&B is basically a must for B&W.Just don't try to do it all at once.Better do it gradually.


Since I am not versed in B&W terminology, I appreciate your explaining this. Since I am using Lightroom, I wonder if I'd be better trying to pull this off by pulling the GND filter up from the bottom or to try using paintbrush? I'll experiment and re-post below later in the day. Thanks for sharing your expertise with a newbie to B&W, tusketwedge!
