| I really like how the B&W adds to the mood and feel of a vintage era gone by - pioneer days of old. I like the composition of all the elements for not only do you have the 'olde tyme' wooden buildings of pioneer days but you have the lovely backdrop of the desert environment they exist in. The only problem with the photo is that alot of the tones and contrast are rather flat - such that the detail of the color variations in the rock face and the the buildings. Playing around with color adjustment in the channel mixer, the brightness/contrast levels and sparingly use of the clarify tool would really make the tones, contrast, and details pop. It might also take care of the problem of the blown out contrasts in the sky but if it does not experimentation and careful use of the burn tool will diminish the blown out contrasts. |

i think you have been taking some great shots in this side challenge, but this one knocks them all into a cocked hat..Stunning backdrop which the foreground adds to magnificently especially in the B&W medium.. My bet is that this picture would be better than anything that came out of the shop that it captures
Openning the thumbnail gave me a wonderful 'wow' moment
Fantastic! Thank you |

| Nice old west scene. Looks like the bright spots in the sky gave you some exposure issues on the ground. Would liked to have seen the buildings a bit lighter but what can you do. |
