Normal Day In Mayo
-
I think the day is so gloomy and the colours are so dull, you’d be better off wit ha black and white version.
I had a rough go at making it black and white with the Windows Vista built in image editor and this is what I came up with (just desaturation and a bit of brightness/contrast).
If you took some time and effort in a more sophisticated image editor I think this could be a great shot.

Is it always like this in Mayo?
Any C&C welcome
You dont know the half of it. :cry:
I like the composition and it looks better in b&w (IMO).
I plaid with the converted photo from Cian, added 22% sharpness, decreased the light by4 and increased the contrast by 5 in PS ellements 4.Thats Lough Doo, near Lenane. Thought that was in Galway. Heres my own attempt.
Was this taken through a window?

I say this based on two pieces of evidence
1. The slightly elevated position which looks above head height
2. Apparent refections on the RHS, is it my imagination but can I make out a face?I’m afraid it’s against my principles to critique a shot that was taken from the warmth of a bus.
If I am wrong then I sincerely apologise. Let me know and I’ll make ammends.

Nope. Used too long of an exposure. Came out a wee bit soft
Sorry Constanine, I was more commenting about Neils original version.

Whoops! Jumped the gun there Andy.
But I know where this was taken, and it would want to be one kamikaze bus driver to park there. I can see the shadow though. Hmmmm

That will be a pint then Andy, Taken in the p***ing rain after I leap out of the car, much to the ungruntlement of the guy who was sitting on my back bumper at the time, no conception of braking distances obviously.
I can see the apparent reflection or shadow though, over use of the old dodging in the version I posted, apologies for that.
Its odd but all the photos I have posted everyone says better in black and white, but I like the subdued colours, all a matter of taste.
Thanks for the comments all taken on board.
LOL, Well all I can do is grovel and offer you a pint of the black stuff.
Fair play to you for braving the mizzle and getting the shot. The composition is bang on and I would say some of the b&w efforts here have really added some extra mood to the original.
Nice one and case closed !
