1837 Pioneer Homestead B&W

I'd love to hear your thoughts, thanks for looking!

Beautiful composition. Bravo.

Tim, I like this one so much better than the other...be assured it's just taste...the other is nice but I really like the tones and shadows in this image....Now a bit of dark vignette might pull the eye right to the center of the image.... Just a thought.

Tim.... Excellent! I like everything about this one, the composition, the tones, and detail. While the previous version is nice and has a wonderful nostalgic look, this is my favorite.... Good shot... Mike

 

 

I'm really happy with how this one turned out. There was a really nice tree to the left that was in the original crop, but unfortunately a modern building was in the background behind it.

 

Ken - I might play around with that, thanks for the suggestion!

I like this version the best, Tim. This has such a nice punch, great shadows and composition. Very nice!

 

Best regards,

Gorgeous tones. An absolute stunner. We just bought a 1845 farmhouse to restore (a little less rustic than this one). I gravitate toward these buildings with some age on them.

Very beautiful corner , there are so many details to observe, the old farm house , vegetation as a "frame" ,and the play of light and shadows are very rich, with diverse contrasts and shapes .Looks a great area to observe even more..

indeed a good photo. I also like that traingel in your foreground which works rather effectively in this composition. I think however if you look close at it you'll find that the snow looks a bit greyish something that with a little curving can easily be corrected without loosing any detail.

Thanks for the comments, it's great to see all of your names here!

 

Ton - I'm always timid about going to far with my whites, especially snow, because I'm afraid of losing that texture. It just seem to go flat, even if I anchor the whites in curves. I'll mess around with a copy and see what happens, because I've heard that point before with my snow shots. Thanks!

Hi Tim, I also really like this one. Nice details and nice and sharp. I Love B&W. cher..
