b&w conversion

[Jonatan]

This is my first b&w conversion, edited in camera raw, and a little in photoshop. I would like to receive comments on it, of any kind, what comes to your mind. It is only with constructive critique that I can get better so don't hold back, if you have any suggestions. Thank you ::



Taken with canon eos 450d, exposure 1/50 s, f11, iso 100 and focal lenght 32.0mm.

I like the tonality of this photo, but compositionally I find that the path on the left leads my eye away from the house/ building. Also, there is some slight vignetting in the upper corners. Was this intentional? I also find this a little distracting, and would have cropped it out (if it was unintentional).

I think this is a very pleasant conversion if a little bright in parts (whites). I would have stood a little further to the right as what looks great in 'real life' can be detrimental in an image; the path does take they eye away to the left of the subject. Also, be careful not to clip the edges of the frame with the image ie/the top of the gable.

A very good first time effort; thank you for sharing.

Good point about watching the roof!

I'd burn the path a little to take the edge off it's brightness, and i'd also dodge under the canopy (at the very least the water wheel to make it stand out a little ..it took me a second to realise it was there at all).

Other than that a real nice image Well done!
