Exactly. And the diagonal at the bottom adds some interest. As does the fence. I might even try cropping out the building on the right just to see the effects.
Ok, Ted had made a suggestion for composition... The original had no crop, no clean up etc.. Just a tone and exposure adjust. I did a crop, adjusted the color a bit and also cleaned out some distracting branches in the foreground. Then as I had discussed earlier, I did a B&W Version... I am pleased but that in me... Ted, Thanks for the suggestion, I think it was a major improvement. All adjustments were done in LR4.
For Reference, this was the original...
This is the cropped & cleaned up version.... (again, Thanks Ted)
and this is my B&W version....
Anyway, that is my conversions. These kind of tips and me going back to try suggestions can only help to
improve my vision and hope that others can share in the education I am getting... Thanks Ted & Nikonites!
