The Golden Hour

A little over the top, but in a good way. It might benefit from a black border.

I printed it with a very narrow black border and it looked pretty good. It's quite bright, but it is so close to SOOC as to be almost scary. The wall straight ahead is painted a very golden yellow with a wainscoat of deep red which adds significantly to the intensity of the color. I think this is one of the first shots I made with my D7000.

as per Ken's suggestion...

Good to see a warm, sunbathed room, even though it's just in a photograph.

I agree with Ken's comments. The black border really compliments the image – how about going with a thicker border?

Fantastic shot!

That's quite possible and I've never gone there with that particular image. I shall give it a go when I return from this weekend's travels. I have to go even further north where it's bloody damn cold.

Rick - this version seems to have lost a little punch in the highlights, which the B&W really could use

Thanks Ken, I didn't play with this one at all. I simply desaturated to give CB idea what's there. I agree. I love high contrast in any B&W. Without it there's no punch. This one will need a little PP surgery.

I think I would have taken a step to the left and a step back. Get a little bit more of the windows in the shot, along with a bit more of the wall. Still an interesting composition.
