Thank you. That shot was waiting there until I got the right lens.

It took me a bit to realize how important symmetry is when you're shooting wide. If it ain't straight, it looks like crap.

I did a second attempt at that statue today upping the "drama" in post. Still not perfect but a good exercise using the brush.



This was the version after going to B&W and before I started painting and adjusting.

The clouds aren't always pretty all over the sky. I had to help nature a hand with this one.

Very nice. Would be great if we had a dedicated Post Processing forum.

Thanks. For B&W the brush tool in LR is phenomenally good. It allows you to paint with exposure and thus enables you to add or lower the contrast everywhere you like and still adjust them all using the sliders. You can add several brushes and layer them all creating more nuance or changing parts dramatically. The trick is to paint, not to color.

It has an eraser too should something be too much.
