Not sure if this meets the WC criteria this week if not please move to “Landscape Showcase”.
The reprocessing aspect is based upon recently reworking it as a B&W over the original transparency color version.
COLOR VERSION
Wista DXIII 4x5 - Schneider APO 210 - Velvia 50
I definitely like this, Paul. I might even take the higher values in the lit plants and boost them a bit to make them stand out from the darker background even more. This works very well in B&W.
I like this as a B&W. I would boost the contrast in the rock, mostly by increasing the highlights and maybe some of the midtones.
Paul, what an interesting comparison. The textures show very well in this (b&w) version but the torch comparison is harder to see. These two make for a fine example as to the importance that the processing can make in many images. I will vote for the color version largely because of the warmth of the light.
I like them both. They each have their own qualities. I just can’t decide.
While I like both versions, Paul, the B&W gets the nod. I do agree with Harley regarding boosting the higher values in the plants to set them off from the darker rock. Nice effort here.
