Title: Mono mood
Post by: MattBurt on April 17, 2016, 12:46:21 am

I have been ending up with more monochrome images lately. It seems to suit these stormy spring days when there isn't much color anyway but lots of great tones and forms.

Thanks for the comments. I'm glad the crop didn't kill for you all. :)

I like the scene and the composition very much. I may have been infected by stamper's love of high contrast, but I do find the processing here just a little flat.

Thanks and I can't disagree that it's a pretty gray image. It was snowing and pretty low contrast and I'm also often partial to the higher contrast images but this time it didn't feel like that fit.

It's a very nice image, Matt. I think it works well at this contrast level.

Nice work, I like the calmness of the water.

Indeed, a great composition and I like the processing. As a fan of high contrast myself, I think this kind of grey misty day needs restraint. This is a trait I should learn.

I like the high contrast treatment and the mystery it adds. Well seen!
