  Hi all

  Got some photos of one of the Killarney lakes recently. Would like some c&c to try to improve! :D
  
  Camera: Nikon D200
  Exposure: 0.067 sec (1/15)
  Aperture: f/18.0
  Focal Length: 24 mm

  
  Camera: Nikon D200
  Exposure: 0.008 sec (1/125)
  Aperture: f/9.0
  Focal Length: 18 mm

  in Photoshop did separate levels of foreground and background, used channel mixer to convert it to mono and did a curves layer to increase the contrast, then added a vignette with the lens correction.

  Hi Anne,

  I like both of these photographs.

  For some reason I like #2 better composition wise.
  I think maybe the boat is in a better position.

  The conversions look very good to me.

  I’m no expert but I be very happy if these were mine although
  I would post them at a larger size (800 pixels wide) to show
  them off to better effect.

  Well done.

  John.

  Hi Anne.
  I like the two of these. Very nice conversion in both. I think a slightly lower shooting angle may have helped to give a lead-in using the rope, but I’m no expert in landscapes, so take that with a pinch of salt. Lovely results though. Well done

  Thanks John & Miki g

  Sounds like there are different people who like different things!

  But at least the bw conversions seem to be ok!
