27th August 2014 - Climb up to the light

Had a play with one of my holiday shots which I thought would look good converted to B&W. I think this is high structure. For my mentoring group's comments if you have time.

I was thrilled to see my greenfinch shot on the PP today - thank you all for getting it there!!
@taffy @golftragic @newbank @888rachel @sullivar High structure - I think - for your comments if you have time.

Hi Pam. This is a great composition -- I recognize the site from your posting in color. I may be wrong, but to me, this is a good example of high contrast. But not so much re structure, largely because the high contrasts ends up obscuring any details in the wood. If you look at the wood grain in the slat at about 11:45 (if it were a clock), you can see the grains really clearly. A high structure shot would emphasize graininess and texture. Where a high contrast shot emphasis the distinction between the dark and light tones. I hope this makes sense!

Great b&w shot

August 27th, 2014  
Awesome, love it

@taffy Heeeeeelp!! LOL!! Back to the drawing board!!
August 27th, 2014  
I love the shot no matter what it is. Fav

@pamknowler But you already did one in the other album!!

@taffy I think I am just confusing high contrast and high structure. When I look at both my shots I can see which is the high structure. I did the conversion and really liked the way it looked - wishful thinking in this case!! LOL!!

Great pov and lines :-)

A rose by any other name etc … and it's a great shot with good visual impact. I too remember the colour version and find it quite amazing to see the difference in the moods and ambience of the two. I'm not too sure, but I see this shot as high contrast because, to my eye, the details are lost in the darker contrast. I'd be interested to see another version of this shot, it's such a great image it's worth looking at.

Fabulous!

This is such a lovely striking high contrast shot. I remember absolutely loving this one in colour too. I agree with Taffy's comments, that it is not high structure, but it is a wonderful shot all the same!

I recall this wonderful shot in colour. Not sure what you call it but I really like it in b/w.
August 28th, 2014  
This works well in B&W but I love the colour one

Love the way it looks like an abstract until the ladder makes you realize that it's a ceiling.

This is fabulous, wonderful image with great contrasts. Love it.
