Yup – I’m at it again. This is a shot I had taken along with another submission I posted here some months back. At the moment I’m trawling my catalogue for images to hone in on the PS skills. Some would say scraping the barrel. This one I had already toned and pushed a little. I just sharpened it and framed it. I quite like the lines throughout this one. There’s nothing particularly interesting, I just like it.
OK Joseph, do your worst… :mrgreen:
Alan.
Lovely shot alan,the conv does it justice.It just works,very pleasing to look at.

I like the lines Alan, though it all seems quite tight and compressed,
and I just feel I want to zoom out so I can see where the road/lane is
leading to on the right. I also want to see the upper reaches of the
building on the left…There’s a lot to look at, nice sharp detail throughout, and all the verticals,
horizontals and diagonals create their own patterns and lead-ins. I also like
the positioning of the old millstones around the scene. Looks like there might
be a few stories attached to this place.I wouldn’t be a fan of the toning – it’s a little heavily loaded on the yellow
side. I’ve found primes to be pretty useful for picking antique-type tones using
a solid colour layer with blending set to colour; for instance Red=17, Green=7, Blue=1, etc…Worth another visit to this location I reckon, and definitely worth a wider shot…

I couldn’t possibly do my worst Alan-
you’d never talk to me again-So let’s stick to positives-
I quite like that tall slit window on the left-
I wonder what that was for-And I suppose we’re lucky in that its possible that the toning might have been even heavier-
I’m not a big fan of overdone sepia-
a slight hint of a tone is fine,
but its always been possible to overdo the process,
even the real thing-Apart from that, Rob mentioned it being a bit tight, and I’d agree-
He’s also found a new use for primes in Photography-
and I can’t wait to see his paper on that in the BJP :DNow Alan,
that wasn’t so bad :D
now was it?j
Simply painless. :D
Yours, and Robs points taken.
A return, with a wide angle, without a paintbrush and an angle that shows that the slit was actually a boarded doorway that was lost in the angle of view.

They’ve already requested a brief draft and I’m working on it right now…
Well you may snigger Joseph, but, joking aside, I’m finding more and more that I can get
fairly convincing and quite pleasing duotones, without destroying tonal range,
by using this method. There’s just something about primes…Rob.
