[QUOTE="snaphappy, post: 149260, member: 12198"] Thank you everyone I appreciate your input. Having you give your opinions and reasons why really gets me looking at my own shots and gives me an idea on what needs to improve and what I did right so I can try it again. So it seems the trees, outhouse and snowy pup are your favs. I'm a bit intimidated by figuring out a keystroke for the trees. In my hard copy it looks better actually with an almost pencil drawn textured feel to it. She showed us how to choose keystrokes and it seems very important to her that we use them but her black whites always have some paint colour in it so choosing the keystroke is obvious. I'm not sure what I'll do with it but am off to give it a try. If it doesn't work I'll go with the outhouse as it is one of my fav shots and my keystroke choice is obvious. Funny how the 2 shots I got the most teasing about wasting my time taking pics of silly things turned out to be 2 favs :) The texture of the trees, sunlight on them and the perfect row drew me to them but I found the colour version distracting so went with B&W. Horoscope fish I had actually turned my contrast down in the above pic and although too late to get reprinted I upped the contrast and re-posted here. I only have my iphoto so can only do very limited PP so guess now will have to delve into getting and learning new software.
