    Evening All
    Looking for some advice on how to process the shots below which were taken in the Clare Glens during the week. I am just not sure what to do. I am relatively new to the whole processing in PS and could do with some pointers.. Thanks.. The rest are on my flickr .. Should I go B & W? Contrast? Saturation?? Thanks for looking..

    I'd try B&W with the first & last, not sure about the middle one though...

    hmm for the second one, if it was me I might try and darken down the image in the foreground all the way up to the "brightness" at the end of the path, might give the impression of coming out of a dark woods into a brighter "future", I'm thinking of Dante, but really things like this it's more up to yourself and what you 'see' in the image.

    For the darkness to brightness it may work better as a B&W.

    The top one is perfect. I wouldn't touch it.

    the third one would probably make a very nice black and white. The middle one I'd have to play around with.

    I'm just about to go out, but if you have no objections, when I come in, I might have a look at the second one...I'd be interested to see what i'd come out with.

    hmm I tried the B&W but I didn't find 'it', then again I tend not to do many B&W.
    For some reason Dante popped into my head when I saw number 2 (yes, I know I need a psychiatrist). ;)

    From Seamus Heaney's translation:
    In the middle of the journey of our life
    I found myself astray in a dark wood
    where the straight road had been lost sight of.

    And no I'm not at all artsy just some memorable quotes stick in my head, handy to have to make yourself look smarter :D

    Number 2 is like finding a way out, I dunno, anyway, have a look and you'll see what I mean. I think it's a tad dark, but you get the idea.
