    Taken in Killarney last month… no hope of catching a stag and I felt the need to press “click” ;)

    C&C very much appreciated

    Gorgeous B+W and I really like the composition with the tree/reflection and the bank on the left. I’m a bit dubious about the large shadow that comes in from top right. I can’t even work out why it might be there.

    its just the tone of the sky – if it were colour it would be the deep polarised looking blue. I did the BW conversion using the red channel which gives this black sky effect.. make sense ?

    Hi Lorraine, lovely pic, tho might tend to agree with Pete-
    also, the 2:3 in portrait might be a bit severe- have you considered a 1:1.6, taking a little off the top?
    It might just balance it up a little-

    You could try to deal with that polarized sky with a graduated vector mask on a contrast layer, to make the graduation a little more vertical, though maybe not totally vertical, to balance the cloud on the left.

    Good pic though, and another example of your individual compositional style in the vertical format-
    keep em coming-

    Great B&W Picture. Drawn straight away to the reflection of the tree in the calm clear river.

    Very Nice Pic Lorraine,
    I like the B&W but would love to see this in color. Makes me want to get out my fishing pole and sit down under that tree.

    Lorraine,

    Botton two thirds of pic is great. Agree about the sky top right though – would not be a problem it there was nice moody cloud formation there

    :shock: God!! Haven’t looked at this in ages – Seem to have lost track of the thread.
    My apologies to all of you for not responding sooner… :oops: :oops:

    Thanks PaddyJoe ;)

    I started an edit of this based on JB’s advice.. so I must go back and have a fiddle around with it , I’ll post it when I finish

    Lovely shot Lorraine… I agree with jb maybe a bit of a crop would help it a wee bit… not that it really needs it all the same…!
