lovely composition!
Ppwise...I might try more contrast overall by about 15-20%
Thanks Marko
Contrast - same comment .....
I'm getting really frustrated. These images look fine in Lightroom, but when I export to jpeg (with the size and quality) for the file to fit within the forum's 325Kb limit the highlights get killed resulting in reduced contrast and more of a muddy look.
you saving in Srgb colour space?
Here's a 1 minute edit for small boost in contrast....My file is on top along with your original file underneath. Look into the highlights and shadows to see the subtle differences.
I could have gone farther I agree this is subtle...but on my monitor the contrast looks better in the top file.
...I likely would have selectively dodged and burned for a minute or 3... as well.
hope this helps.
Thanks Marko. I think I'm not doing enough selective dodging and burning.
love this. it's dirty, gritty and perfect for b&w. well done!
