Redo...does it work?

oldoval

I'm still getting my processing legs so I'm trying different ideas to see what sticks. Here's a dark and gloomy redo. Does this treatment work...or too hokey?

I'd have to see more images to really form an opinion but I do like this particular image. Sort of a sepia, monochromatic look?

It's a delightful image. I don't think that gloomy is hokey, but I'd like to get gloomy without trading away so much detail to just plain dark.

I really like the way it turned out I like the darkness of it the sky is very pretty.

On my monitor some of the shadow areas are pretty dark, but I notice that there is a lot of difference between monitors, and it may look perfect on most others. I like the sepia tones. Best, Pam

I like it a lot but you could bring up (brighten) that darker area in the lower left just a tad. Even the mountain in shadow on the right side seems OK if you can't pull out some detail there.

When I got to work and checked this page I noticed it looked pretty dark. I have a bad habit of sitting in the dark at home when I edit my images which may make things seem brighter than they actually are.

I'll work on a new version tonight.

Thanks for all the help so far folks.....keep it coming.

Here's a different crop and a little brighter. I think the crop edges may have been falling right on dark areas so the overall image seemed too dark and crowded.
