Brilliant context, Marc, and a lovely photo overall.  You might consider giving the highlights (or the white points) a slight bit more of a pop.  I get that you are going for a gentle rendition; but it seems oh so slightly flat'ish

I am really dancing on the head of a pin here... :)

Great photo

Thanks a lot for your advise Adam. I will give it a try!

best wishes

One of the other negatives from my botched developement

and a quick fiddle in Photoshop

 

I'd say given the subject most would have been hard pressed to know. But of course, once you know it, you always see it, as always.

Good save all round though, blame the wife too?

Anyone of a certain age who remembers Roger Dean's record sleeve artworks in the early 70's, especially those used on various albums by Yes, would have been humming 'Close To The Edge' on Curbar Edge yesterday. Well I was, anyway!

very cool, Steve.  Looks like a scene from purgatory :)

very crisp and delicate, Eoin.  Love that Tri-X :)

 

Thanks a lot for your advise Adam. I will give it a try!

I really think I was being unfair.  I looked at it again on my iPhone and it looked sufficiently luminant, at least sufficiently so to make any critique pin-headed :)

Great energy in both of these, Neil.  You are probably not used to the reduced sharpness and crispness that you get from your S.  But that is more than compensated by, well, everything else that matters, which is pretty much everything!  Keep shooting and sharing here!  Adam

I hit this guy once again last week...for the third time...

Is the third time a charm, or positive evidence that I have finally gone insane ???   :)

Here is another perspective (although the first I posted seems to hold together better...)

A way long exposure with the 6 stop ND filter, with Tri-x's horrible reciprocity failure (about a 2 min exposure)

not as balanced as portra for people, IMHO; but rules are there to be broken...

Charmed for sure. Really like this viewpoint Adam. All competing for height. May the best man or building win.

 

And sometimes the insanity is worth it!

Thanks, Hardy. I really appreciate it.   At least I was able to capture some detail in the sky for Christoph... :)

I think the reason for your obsession/insanity is that the statue is obviously interesting and photogenic, but its location makes a composition nigh on impossible. So a nod to you, Adam, for providing a stream of workable compositions. I especially like this long exposure.

 

Another route to composition is to isolate the subject, but those skyscrapers are inconveniently located, scraping the sky.

 

Believe it or not, I have a similar problem here in Switzerland. I'm a big fan of semi-minimalist landscapes... but someone went and scattered mountains all over the place. A zen-like pickie of a rock or tree or whatever is rather let down when there's a pretty mountainside in the background complete with alpine meadows, cows, trees, chocolate box chalets, and cheery farmers.

 

So isolating subjects often requires either mist or snow, or mist *and* snow.

 

Dunno what I'll do in summer.

Adam,

 

My comment on the sky had, on reflection, a lot to do with the long term exposure you used: car-lights swooshing about on the streets; and a featureless white sky seems incongruous in that situation (featureless black or dark blue may be more believable).

 

I do like your latest iteration; the moving sky contrasts nicely with the architectural fixtures and the staring statue.
