Having all plug-ins back, I decided to test them out with the b&w photo posted in my main album. This is the result. Realism is out the door but at least I know the plug-ins are okay!
The saner version is in my main album: http://365project.org/taffy/365/2015-04-13
It would not normally be the case, but somehow I find myself more drawn to your ETSOOI version here! The B&W version seems to be a bit blown out in the sky. I like the balance of your composition with the horizon fairly in the midline and "heavy" objects on either side.
The monochrome choice for this super shot is the right one! I would have like to see that green stripe of grass a bit more obvious but that might have spoilt it! fav
I like the coloring on this. It reminds me of a few times where I've seen something like it here in the mountains- usually after a rather severe storm. Great processing!
@taffy I think we should - it was always a fav of mine - there were themes yes? and free choice? I am happy to begin as I have some time atm - I will try and find some old ones
@annied I recommend this one be open, no theme, to get people back into it -- as many as possibly are interested. Just my two cents but I'll support whatever you choose to do. Happy to help in any way -- but you are in the beginning of the day while I'm heading toward night/sleep! If you don't mind starting, that would be great.
