Point Wilson Lighthouse - which?

[Didereaux]

A while back I posted the BW version of this. Here is the color version. Couldn't decide which I preferred so had both done on metal. They hang side by side and compliment each other almost like separate subjects....neat effect.

I will always be more partial to B&W's, especially when it comes to old architectural stuff because it takes me back to my film days.

I did however find your midtones a bit lacking as well as some good texture in the stuccoed walls. It is just an opinion as always to the work and not to the artist.

Definitely agree on the texture. Haven't mastered SilverFX to the point that I can use the control points effectively. So did this within LR. Looking at yours though I see I could have done those walls with a brush and played with highlights, and clarity and pulled out that texture that way maybe. Appreciate the points made. thanls

I did the edit using a Midtones Luminosity mask and a light-lights Luminosity mask from Tony Kuyper. They're free and pretty intuitive.
