The image is great, all the embellishments do not work for me at all. A picture, is a picture, is a picture. Warts and all, sometimes horizons are not OK, sometimes we worry about color & contrast, do we actually care? If the image is great as in this case I don't think so (or at least hope). For me (personal choice) keep it simple and minimalistic, nearly like food should be.

 

Anyway, this is a very good photograph IMHO.

I appreciate comments and the advice. Thank you.

Anyway, did I tell you how much I like this photograph? Probably not, apologies. I like it a lot.

 

You did thanks Stephen :) But I was just about to come back to ask if you were referring just to the frame or to the toning as well because I felt the toning added to the sense of impending tempest.

TX back but for me the same image in B/W would be perfect. I like sepia tone, it reminds me of my parents, my grand uncle Len (he was a remarkable character) a whole pile of stuff but for me this photo does not need anything more than straight B/W and certainly no edge decoration.

 

That there is an impending storm is clear enough:D

Like this... in fact looking at this more the storm looks more threatening than in the toned version.

Thank you. Yes, it is a fantastic tool and a lovely thing to own. The 50mm Summicron seems to suit it perfectly. I have a 28mm Summicron on order and will be interested to see how that compares.

Indeed, it is scary. One wonders how the storm will develop, the symmetry is bleak and foreboding.

I looked at these again today and would be hard put to choose between the

toned and untoned versions, I like them both very much, they both have a

terrific mood.

 

While looking at them so closely I noticed some (what appears to be) sensor

dust spots in the clouds top right of frame. One might think that it would be

reasonable to assume that a brand new camera would come with a perfectly

pristine sensor, but they don't seem to. Personally I seem to spend an amazing

amount of time dotting-out little dots in my clouds.

I like the toned version better although the toning is a bit more than I like, but there is more seperation of the tones in that one as opposed to the second version which leaves little in the tones and the sky is a bit too dark.

I noticed those too and was horrified. However I can't think what they are as all shots before and since haven't exhibited any spotting at all. I haven't had time yet to replace them with corrected shots.

 

Just to be sure I am going to do some tests today.
