Odds & sods in black

[stubbsy]

I've been finishing off PP from some recent shoots and these are three I preferred with a B & W treatment.

The colour version of this one is HERE

Peter well worked, contrasty images. I really think #1 is easily the pick of the bunch. It has great balance the angled beam of light plays beautifully over the scene highlighting the stool and adding tonal contrast that really highlight the brick work. Even the reflection in the top windows works reasonably well(though i'm a little torn), in particular the far left rigging looks great and this got me thinking about the other 2 window pane sets.

I would almost think to clone out the wayward telegraph lines in the middle pane set and even go to the trouble of cloning out that almost ghostly noose in the pane last set. I'd probably be tempted to selectively increase the contrast slightly of the reflected clouds and sky in the windows to add even more contrast. I'm not sure if that all makes sense but I would certainly muck around with the window reflections in some way to create more impact from there for the rest of the image has loads of impact. Great image though.
