Challenge: Free Study 2007-09 (Advanced Editing V)
Camera: Canon PowerShot S3 IS
Location: Port Dalhousie, ON
Date: Sep 12, 2007
Aperture: f/4
ISO: 80
Shutter: 1/1000
Galleries: Black and White, Seascapes
Date Uploaded: Sep 30, 2007

My first Free Study.

Channel mixer to monochrome, resize, sharpen, levels, curves, Neat Image (didn't seem to work too well :-/). A bit of dodge/burn (not much!), cloned out a seagull and some other people to leave the single person.

It wasn't overly bright, so I'm not sure why the shutter speed reads 1/1000, but there we have it. I think I metered off the sky. I like this image, and would probably vote it a 7 if it wasn't mine...meaning it's gonna be a mid/high 5'er, 'cause you Kats and Kittens can be harsh in the FS!

post

Pretty much as I predicted. At least I'm better than 50%. No 10's, but no 1's or 2's either.

Nice job on the B&W conversion. I like the solo figure by the lighthouse.

I might have cropped the lighthouse in just a touch more to the left, but that's really being nitpicky. Good photo.

Great sky but the water and ground has lost most of its detail due to it being very dark on my calibrated monitor.

Really lovely. If it were mine, I'd do a selective adjustment of neutrals and white or maybe levels, to up the lighter tones a smidge. Nice composition and use of neg. space. 7

I Love this shot. I love the clouds, this is just a great shot. I am unable to vote in this challenge, and just passing through with comments. Oh I do wish that wave wasn't there in the middle, but I still love the picture!
