Old House

I pulled over on the side of the highway and walked through knee deep snow to take this pic....COLD!

And it was well worth it!!! GORGEOUS!!!

I wanted to see what this would look like in black and white (which looks great btw). In the process, I started seeing something appear in the window. I upped the contrast to see it better.. kinda creepy even though it's probably just a wall that the sun is lighting up.

Nice catch!

This is the black and white conversion I had done.

Nice shot. Black and white edit loses the separation of the roof line and sky... near the right side of the frame.

Besides, the blue sky looks really good in the first. Color for me.

Did you consider plumbing the vertical lines?

Ditto with Rez.

Here's the B&W I did. If you're using photoshop, don't just use the desaturate tool. Use the actual Black And White adjustment, gives you a lot more control of the color channels. Mine's not perfect either, but whatever. (notice the figure in the window that's what I spotted during my editing)

The lines on the right side of the front of the house are plumb, this one I used the lines in the center of the front of the house. I think I like it better, thanks for the heads up.

[...take the shot!]

Awesome picture.

It looks over-saturated to me. What lens did you use that causes so much distortion.

Yes it is oversaturated, on purpose.

17-55 kit lens.
