Angelo I like the first one as well. One comment tho is the wind thingies are over exposed. I think it would look nice if you exposed for the wind thingies and not the building. The building may darken up but you could always adjust that later.

Labby - thanks for the suggestion. This is one of the shots from the series of which I asked for help in "technique" regarding overexposures. I agree this could be better but I tried my best and could only achieve this level. I'd ask for an example but I don't use PS so your techniques might not translate.

Angelo,

The first shot has the most power for me. (Oops, pun was not intended.)

Angelo, wrt what Labby was talking about, I took the liberty of modding your pic (hope you don't mind!). Using PSP 8, I duplicated the background, then used a histogram adjustment and decreased the gamma fairly drastically. I then added a hide all mask and painted on the mask with a white brush to bring out the adjusted windmills/mountains. I then decreased the opacity of the masked layer group until I felt it "looked right".

Alan - definitely an improvement but unfortunately your explanation is over my head as I don't use PS. Thanks for working on the image, it gives me something to strive for.

Gosh Angelo, I love that shot. Congrats on having great vision and creativity in framing that shot. Try to find a way to make layers in your image program. Expose the shot once "light" and once "dark". Then layer one over the other and erase the part you don't want (either the window or the house, depending on which is the top layer). That's really simplifying it a lot, but most programs can do it.

Thanks Snappy - I do know the importance of these tools but there's SO much to learn all at once. I feel like I'm cramming a 4yr U program into 18 months. (I did that when I was 20, don't want to / can't now)

Thats some good frameing. i like the other shots too. if you could go back i would ask you if you to see what other angles you could get for the second one. good work though, i enjoyed them.
