A few new photos for C & C

I think that #1 is a jumble and not recoverable without more space on the sides.
Just those little slivers of door frame make it look like a missed job of framing the picture - and the perspective distortion is also annoying.
Either be inside or out of the space.

There is more space in the original, I cropped the one I posted. No sure why I did but I just thought it looked better cropped.

If you are willing, it might be useful or instructive to post a LARGE original somewhere and allow us to work to a final image on that.

Sure, I dont mind at all. I can post them once I get home from work. Im here to learn so whatever is going to help me see what Im doing right or wrong Im all for. I have the full size RAW images, I can post a few of the house and this one as well. Should I just post them here?

Technically speaking, it's not possible to post a RAW image because the web browser is incapable of interpreting it into a viewable image. You will need to convert it to .jpg, but maybe that's what you meant. Now, if you have a filehost or ftp, you could host the RAW file for us to play with.

The original waterfall does look much cleaner, but I can still see a bit of mud in it.

Sure I can post the RAW files in my mediafire account. What link will you need to access the files?

I'm not familiar with mediafire, but whatever the link they give you...

Ok, I will post up the links when I get a chance after work.

I may not see them as I'm leaving work soon, but if noone else takes a look, send me a PM and I'll check 'em out when I can.

here are the links to the raw files, I took 4 different ones of the house and only one of the doorway. Doorway wasnt cropped much at all I guess

I played around with the cabin one you posted earlier... the only thing I don't like about the original is the perspective distortion which you do have enough room to fix in the original file. I think you did a nice job with the processing. I couldn't come up with a B&W conversion that I liked better than yours. It's crisp and punchy.

I also played around with the door frame raw but I just couldn't do anything with it other than brighten up the back of the room and fix the distortion, which really didn't do much for the photo. I think the image is a lost cause for me, however, if you like it, then definitely hold on to it. Having said that, I think the *place* may have potential, I just don't like this rendering/composition of it.

Ok, thanks for the help. Both locations are within 5 miles from my house so I will be going back to get some more shots. I will probably wait until the leaves start changing until I head back. Hopefully the 2nd time around I will have a little better luck.
