Re: Postbridge & a Question

I prefer the mono version but would crop out the out of focus foreground grasses.
Also like the first shot but maybe could do with slightly brightening.

Re: Postbridge & a Question

Yes...another vote for the mono....I like that the OOF foreground as it emphasises the narrow DoF....so I'd be tempted to keep it in.

Re: Postbridge & a Question

A great set, mono works for me best. i am assuming you are shooting over water... leave the reeds in.

Re: Postbridge & a Question

Hi Guys, thanks for the comments. The first one is dull as it was taken just after sunrise on a quite claggy morning. I will try to lift it a bit though and see what happens.
I'm undecided on the foreground or whether I prefer mono or colour although I think it's mono.

Re: Postbridge & a Question

I love the first one as it really captures the atmosphere of the moor on such a day

Of the other two the mono definitely gets my vote as the central tree is lost in the colour version. As for cropping I agree that losing some, but not all, of the blurred foreground would strengthen the composition turning a good image into an exceptional one. Very good work indeed

Cheers,
John

Re: Postbridge & a Question

I like them both Wayne, I actually like the oof foreground leading into the sharp image and then back out again, I also think that the colour version has something of a watercolour look to it but I really like the mono.
