I think you did good on the cropping sury. with good use of the rule of third. I actually like it better than the colored one!

Mark,
I love the Sepia treatment. The slight asymmetry in the second one is a nice touch. It conveyed to me that
this building is much larger than shown. I curious to see the second one in black and white.

With best regards,
Sury

Thanks sury. The building is indeed much larger, but this was all I could cram in at 18mm at the time. I'll see if I can grant your request on the tone. Although I like pure black and white, I love using yellow tones as they give a sense of age or history which black and white cannot (in my opinion).

The view down the canal is great - fab reflection. It would great in IR in th summer

Thank you Andy!

sury, is this edit more to your liking as the yellowed one?

Mark,
I love this one. It is more to my taste. To me, this one with clean lines and looking fresh is
a testimony to the timeless character of the building. The yellow tone was imparting an
impending doom of eventual dilapidation of the structure. It is just my own reaction.

With best regards,
Sury

I see what you mean. Thanks.

Mark

I'm with Sury on that photo, Mark.

I agree with you both Doc when I reprocessed it.

Inspired by the violin shot Doc posted a few days ago, I took some abstract images of my beloved instrument: the trumpet.

Very good abstracts Mark. I liked the second one better in the sense it gave me
a tad bit more context (less abstract?) than the first one. The first one is true
abstract in the sense that if you did not tell me that it is your trumpet, I could imagine
it to be anything.

With best regards,
Sury
