This shows how important it is to "work a subject": try for different angles, view points, lenses.
Super shot. Would obviously make a strong monochrome conversion.

Agreed Andrew - it's a great shot .
But does everything have to be converted to monochrome ?

Not as long as everything doesn't have to be in colour! Agreed Andrew - it's a great shot .

I like the new shot, excellent detail in the monoment. The sky looks great at first glance, although looking at it a bit longer the tops of the clouds look a bit blue.

Tim,The sky looks great at first glance, although looking at it a bit longer the tops of the clouds look a bit blue.
Are we seeing thin cloud that is translucent, which is why we can see the sky colour behind?
Kris,
The 3rd shot captures an imposing, solid structure.

Although I am very fond of monochrome, on this occasion I rather like the blue. I stood in freezing weather** with the polariser on my DA* 50-135mm waiting for the one and only break in the cloud to bluster by. I have several shots going from grey cloud to this.
As to straightening it out, I have done so once already. The problem is, which bit to get straight given it is largely curves? I went for getting the columns straight but perhaps I should have gone for something else?
Best wishes, Kris.
**More importantly, my ever patient lady waited in the freezing cold while I faffed around taking photos!

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Absolutely not. Recently I've taken several shots: some very bright and depending on colour or colour contrast to work, others more suited to subtle colours which I've even toned down a little. Check out my "Left Luggage" set: it would be very dull in mono, I think, yet the Ferguson T20 I posted in the Gallery today was made for mono and conversion meant losing a bright triangular road sign.Agreed Andrew - it's a great shot .
