I've shown this to others, and opinion seems to be split. Some people think it's a good B/W conversion, others (who are generally the more experienced photographers) tend to think it's over processed.

So, I thought I'd field it here and see what you guys think.

Yeah, I think it's a little too... something. Over-pp and maybe a bit dark, though I'd be concerned about brightening it and losing the sky. Might do a selective brightening without the sky.

Just my opinion, though... if lots of people like it slap a price tag on it and sell some prints.

thats a really nice shot I like the darkness and the sharpness is perfect

Excellent composition.

Yes, there's some loss of shadow detail, but not huge splotches of the image.

All in all, well done with some tough lighting.

I love the composition.

The shadows on/just under the roofs are a bit dark though.

 

[jvw2941]

yes i found it! haha

i have revisited this post because, one, it remembered all this time, and two, I believe it would be excellent as a Digital Cyanotype. You should definitely try it!

the only over processed bit that catches my eye is the horizon halo. otherwise i love it.

I have to say I agree with Manaheim on this one xxx

Personally I think it lacks in contrast a little bit. I would come alive more but you probably will also have to do some dodging and burning.

 

[Wyjid]

yay dodging and burning!!!

Love the shot as it is!

Great job in editing, you didn't lose a lot of detail in the photo and you still get the sky without HDR! good job
