B&W Swingset

Need some thoughts on this...I messed with the B&W mix in lightroom to make parts lighter and darker

The sky is very dull, the greys in the shot are a little unflattering.

not really sure what to do about the sky but here's an edit

I haven't really done much with black and white before but it seems a little busy with all the trees so I feel like the swingset doesn't pop out.

I'm not sure whether edits could fix that though. Maybe a slightly different angle could help (I'm thinking zooming in on one part of the set).

The whole image still looks underexposed. I'm sure if you look at a histogram of your image, it will be skewed towards the left side.

Please include your ISO, shutter speed and aperture when submitting an image for a critique.

If you shot RAW, you should be able to lighten the RAW file to get a correctly exposed jpg. Or if you bracketed your shots.

It's difficult to get a really good image when your subject is pretty much a black silhouette.

I figured the info was on my flickr photo page so didn't think I needed to, next time I'll do it :-)
