Seems a bit lonely.
Several years ago I posted a black and white image of a dilapidated homestead in this valley in SW Montana. This structure, I assume, was a part of the ranch that is now public lands. There is not much left, and considering the building now has a lean to it, I suspect in a few more winters it will be laying on its side. I'm actually surprised old work collectors have not taken parts of it for other uses.
Anyway, it's kind of a lonely scene. I like the composition with the hills leading into more isolation, and the line of vegetation doing the same. Curious what you all might think and feel free to comment.
Thanks for looking!

Very nice, the cabin fits nicely into the desolation of the area and B&W only accents it more

Yep, the line of the roof following the vegetation and the vegetation paralleling the hills all work together for a very strong composition IMO. I'm also a big fan of the soft clouds. Excellent b&w processing. Editor or in-camera, or film or...?

Hi Linda, appreciate the comments. I like the lines as well, taking the viewer from right to left into "loneliness". To your question: raw, converted in ACR with a slight color correction and light adjustment, opened in PS, Topaz DeNoise (auto), converted to B&W in Nik Silver Affects Pro, again more minor generic light adjustments, slight selenium tone, back to PS and ACR with masks to adjust and sky and foreground separately to taste. Plus, I need to clean my A7Riv sensor so cleaned up a few dust bugs. 24 mm with the 24-105. If I keep doing wide, I may develop some gas for something wider.
Again, appreciate your feedback and glad you like it.

I got my first version free, but with a new laptop, shelled out the $150 for the upgrade. I'n not sure that version 6 has anything more to offer than vs. 1, and the toning options seem less.

Purchased a new MacBook Pro (m2 chip) a few weeks ago and the new version of Nik seems to be working fine. I didn't even try to bring the old version 1 from my old MacBook (2017).

This image is exactly why I fell in love with western Montana. All that space to just look at! No one around to disturb the peace and quiet.

That's exactly why my wife and I are up here from Spring to Fall. My old bones just don't do well in the winter.
Glad the image brought some "feelings" and it conveyed the sense of "space" and remoteness.
Thanks for the comments.
