I like the 3rd but the leaves are overexposed (too bright). Judging from your photos it looks like it was a pretty bright day.

It was bright with that shot though I was also experimenting with slow shutter speed to get the water blurring and needed a filter really that I didnt have!

I also like the third one it might be a touch to bright but I still think it’s a great shot

I agree on the light Aaron. Good catch! My question regards the first shot. Exactly how was it shot. It looks like black and white. Shades of grey actually. How did you get this effect?

Morning, The first one is a conversion to Black and white using Channel mixer, as described in the scott Kelby book.

By playing around with the sliders you can move from a typical 'old school' black and white like this to a more modern contrasty black and white.

I really like this way of doing it, and because its on a layer it can be altered or removed later.
