Any opinions appreciated. I think it has suffered slightly in resizing, still havent figured the whole resizing business. This started off as a 44Mb TIF!

As I always say it needs more contrast more more more.

Oh yea and more blacks more more more

PoleStar

Yes I kinda thought that myself.

Should that be done after the B&W conversion or should you do contrast in colour?

I would go for the following
Open => convert => contrast => burn => Resize => WEB

it already looks quite sharp.

section on left hand side (wall) appears to be blown out with the brightness of the day. The concept i think is nice - i might suggest a little more depth of field to add more of that 'out of focus' effect on the house. Also in terms of processing, perhaps try a vignette which should darken down the edges and give an interesting effect. Geez - 44MB: So glad you didn't post the original ;o)

Do you have photoshop?

PoleStar

No photoshop at the, after forking out for my dSLR Im kinda broke for hobby stuff!

I am trying out Bibble to do most of editing while still in raw files and I have paintshop pro for any other mods.

Thanks again!
