the firs of the last ones in BW. It semes really better for me.
But I give up here.

Was there once more. Resulted in 3 quite different pic-s.
1. Quite the same as previos Should crop most of the braches ....



2. BW



3. Back to colors

Pauly,
It seemes to me that you are mostly talking about the events, feelings and taking "sides".
It can be understood.
But this a startpoint for conflicts.

Just concentrate on the quality of the photos.

Be sure, its friendly advice.

I would like to go back, yes. Thats the point. Whenever I get the time.
I just felt that I ran empty of ideas

My doughter was pushing me to go further also... It is all her fault !only joke !!!!


Monochrome ? mhhh.... maybe
Time to get started with b&w as well
In my schooldays I had only B&W negatives, and lab in my bathroom....should go back and forth with that as well without moving into bathroom

Thanks !

Thanks for the gradient idea!
I tried soft light leyer with 50% opacity too (Stefan once gave that idea)
but here the gradient adds a lot ! It was missing
Thatswhy I posted the original.

Any good croping variants ? I cant decide any more. (too sleepy)

Btw, I cant see (understand) difference in softlight mode and overlay mode (GIMP)
Quite the same result for my eye.

Still it disturbes me, that I have to PProcess.

the second
ok. that wasnt exactly what I ment
At least it gave me a good laugh !

It was nice place....but not so nice pic

Any advice ?



Pentax DA* 16-50
1/125
F 13
ISO 400 (forgot to switch 200)

edit: new location of pic

Like the first. One thing is saturation, deep blue ...(as it was said)

But what I like about the first is the way the building reflects. (your angle of view)
the reflections are as if creating new windows into the building !

The second pic only proves that the first is good not just thanks to good architecture.(=not every pic taken of good architecture is good) Result also depends on how you take the pic. Fist- excellent. Second- has no efect.

I wonder if anyone understands at all, what I ment

Nothing written in the rules....
https://www.pentaxuser.com/forum/topic/Fortnightly-Competition-Rules-8652

I guess it is your decision

Oh, no !

Its a good pic to partcipate.
I do not know the rules so exact...probably not allowed to delete from here and post there ??

Why didn't you post into the reflections competition ?!!

Really nice pic !
