Mabry Mill

All comments welcome. Thanks in advance for your time. Sondra

Beautiful,great composition

Very Nice, Although the mill house seems to stand out a little more than the trees? Lovely composition though.

Ahh Sondra how I envy you this place!!! It's fantastic! ;-))

IMHO... I wish you had cropped slightly tighter at the top. The sky adds nothing to the picture. Also I would have darkened slightly. I attached an example of what I mean. Please let me know ASAP if you don't like me to...and I will remove it at once. :-))

 

Best regards, ivar :-))

 

PS! Best of luck with your election today! :-)

I agree with the cropping of the tree somewhat, but the mill was the light bleached wood. Your suggestion was good. Others will comment on the two photos. Thanks, Sondra

Ivar,

Your crop is nice, but the darkening altogether changed the mood of the picture. There is nothing objectionable about the darker version, but my guess is that when Sondra shot this picture, she liked the soft lighting in the scene. Sometimes, a bit of PS work can accent an image, but I disagree with using PS to altogether change the feel of a picture.

I agree with the cropping. I wish the whole building showed in the reflection. As to the darkening, there is nothing wrong with two versions of a picture (or three). Both work.

Anish: I don't disagree at all! :-)) The beauty is that we all have our own way of seeing, and like I said... I envy having access to this magnificent place! Now I will come over to have a look at your portfolio. ;-))

 

Cheers!

Beautiful still feeling (not retained in Ivar's version imo which aims more for drama). Have you seen Jim Mcconnells shots of this mill?

I have seen Jim's version and I have a similar one. Just haven't put it on PN yet. Jim's photo lead me to the mill, a beautiful place. Sondra

Hello again Sondra, I just today found these Mabry Mill photos by you. I think they are great! 7/7. The oldest pic in wy portfolio, is MABRY MILL FOGGY. I don`t think you have viewed it, it was taken just weeks after the mill was rebuilt. Look at the difference in the weathering in that picture, and in your two wonderful photos. Best regards, -Jim

Sondra-you did a wonderful job of photographing this fantastic old mill. I too have this mill in my portfolio and I always enjoy seeing well done shots of this place. Good work!

Dolce e delicata 7/7

I appreciate all your comments, thanks. Cheers, Sondra

I've just been looking through your most frequently rated photos. I'm envious. Makes me want to turn in my union card. Actually I'm buying a new camera for a Galapagos trip! I like this picture best. I want it blown up, framed, and hung on my wall. Did you accept the offer to sell your pictures?
