hi all,

thanks

Its a nice shot but it needs a contrast injection.

Start with a levels/curves adjustements of the rocks sea nd sky seperately then it needs some doging and burning as with most B&W.

I like the muted tones but would prefer a White Point - a shame the marker's sitting just under the horizon

hi dan
as Alf said needs a contrast boost and would be better either with the post either up in the sky line or removed completely

cheers guys, i new it needed something, ive had a quick go this morning with these, im not great with photoshop, as some of you will now, yeah i now the post would have been better in the skyline, i was as low as i could go without getting a proper soaking,





i prefer the first one, added various layer masks, brightened the white, looks a bit more contrasty, and added a vingette to see if that would work too,

thanks,

dan

Bingo ,..... you got it and I agree. The first revision would be my choice also. That has gone from a snoozer to a bruiser.. lol
