[QUOTE="snaphappy, post: 160375, member: 12198"] Horoscope Fish I just wanted to tell you how very much I appreciate these comments you made. I have remembered your comments and used them since. You were absolutely correct about upping the contrast for the black and white photo. The greyer hard copy of the trees where I'd lowered the contrast looked interesting like a pencil sketch but when I upped that contrast and got it printed it out it was far more eye catching and powerful. I've since looked at other B&W photos I've done and most are grey. So I learned simple is better for B&W and much better if actually B&W rather than grey. By telling me what things I did right and which could be adjusted to make it better I've learned and I just really appreciated the time you took because it has really helped me. I posted this thank you on the forum so maybe someone else will read and find your words helpful as well. The rest of you were also very helpful because as you commented and I was able to go back and look at my photos as you were seeing them and critic them better. My assignment was on proper presentation not the photo so I felt it ok to ask help in choosing an image. [/QUOTE]
