    Getting to grips with monochrome - Ramshaw Rocks, Peak District

    I'm continuing down my learning path of monochrome photography and I thought I'd give this shot a convert as the sky looked just right and with a nice bright foreground. What are peoples thoughts on this one?

    im no expert mate but it looks good to me, everything about the scene suits the mono.

          Thanks very much Dave...I even re-processed in colour afterwards and it just didn't work...

            It's a perfect shot for a conversion but for me the top is just a tad too dark. That or darken the bottom slightly to balance things up

              Thank you very much for the feedback Alan, really appreciate it..I've chosen to darken the foreground a slight touch as I do like the darker sky area...How do you feel about change this mate???

                Works better for me and balances the image very well now, good one

                    Excellent..Have to admit, I really like the change, giving it far better balance across the whole frame. Thank you for your advice mate..

                      Andrew, the first is lovely and a great conversion, but the second is an improvement even on that. Very nicely done. And a great suggestion by Alan, I for one would never have come up with how to improve it.

                              Well done Andrew - great processing. The 2nd one improves it even more; the sky is great.
