Fooling around with Lightroom 5
#3 is the one that works best for me. A very interesting study of the ship's and building's architecture, with a dramatic sky for mood.
Number one for me with the suns rays through the clouds. The pylons are a distraction though and I would probably remove them.
Love your B&W treatment of subject matter. Nice rich blacks and excellent tonal range. Beautiful job!
Enjoyed your images. Please post more of your B&W work.
Good stuff Rusty Nails. Your choice of subjects was impeccable.
Excellent B&W, really like #3, but all good work - thanks for sharing.
Nice work. I like them all, but the third one stands above for me.
The first two are over sharpened. Too many white halos around the edges. They lack a foreground element but not always available. The third one the top of the mast is cut off and you are not level. The building is tilted, particularity the storage shed in the bottom right. Good tonal qualities for black and white.
I always seem to be in left field from everyone else. I like #2 best. #3 is interesting, but the sky and the boat detail fight with each other. I'd like it better with a simple, non-distracting sky so that the boat detail really shows up. I like #1 but the electrical poles are a bit distracting. Can they be easily removed?
Thanks everyone for the critiques and complements,,,, I really appreciate the input,, always room for improvement, but the fun is learning..
