A Visit to Richmond Yorkshire

Visited Richmond 2 summers ago, including the castle, great place.
I love the first image, feels like it tells a story.
Second image was a little flat for me, I liked the composition though so I did a quick PP in lightroom (hope you don't mind) to see if I could make it come alive a bit more. Here is the result.
I also tried a different crop, which I prefer, take a look here, see what you think.
edit: Just been looking at your gallery as well, impressive stuff, love the bald eagle!

Thanks Paul. I'm going to have to continue with the PP classes I think.

I like the first image, he is in the frame in more ways than one. It's a nice pose and character study.
Is this one of the character's from where you live? This photograph stands as a great initial image for a project in documenting people like this.
I took the liberty of colour correcting and cropping the image, I felt it gave a better balance of things without taking anything away from your shot.

A wonderful character study, but, I feel, the myriad colours are a bit of a distraction, at least to me. A mono conversion should allow the viewer to concentrate on the main subject.
Best wishes,
Andrew

Thanks Paul, Richmond is about 40 mins drive from home. I was there with the Assignment Group from Durham Photographic Society link
I see your point Andrew and had a try with mono but I don't think it improved things. Unfortunately he would not even smile, never mind move in front of a new background.

#1 is great - wonderful shot.
Although I think Paul got the colour right in his version of #2 I didn't like the crop (too cramped) and same goes for #3 - the cropped version has cut right through some of the paintings behind the character. A slight crop of the original and a colour correction between the two versions (original is too saturated and Paul's version too cold for me) would be spot on.
