I think the processing on the second one here is getting close Chris. The first looks a little cooked for me. I noticed in your earlier post of the marsh that you were getting things worked out a bit. Well done Sir.

I second what Paul said, Chris. I, especially, want to just mention, regarding the second one, how pleasing the reflection is with the grass and the sky with the clouds. and, there seems to be a lovely depth to it.
In the first, the pp is so harsh, it's kind of hard to know what I think.
Chris, does this sort of pp fit this landscape, though? I love how soft and full of gentle texture marshy grasses are. I don't know,... I think of FL scenes as not so dramatic - not so harshly stark. I mean, FL is like one big moist terrarium - not cold and hard and dry. I don't know if I've said that all correctly but, perhaps, you get the idea of the thought?

Chris, I agree the second image is a good b/w conversion and you seem to have eradicated some of that rather startling noise that is present in the clouds of the first image. I used to think that this was down to a combination of exposure recovery and over sharpening. Whilst the first image is over sharpened I suspect that something else is at play in the PP. I am now leaning toward the lack of strategic gaussian blurring of layers before the final sharpening. I see it so often in multi-layer b/w conversions...especially in clouds.

Send me a PM and give me more info on using the blur prior to final sharpening..it is not an area of PP I am familiar with in this regard. |
