It's got semental value...but C&C on B&W conversion...it's a Dalton Gang cabin in CO...taken midday.

Display shows darker.

The subject works well for bw, solid conversion, I would prefer a looser shot to include a full beam in the right. I am a big fan of these relics of the past, all to soon all that will be left of this is the photographic record Would you mind sharing just what the sentimental value is?

It seems like the whites could be pushed up a bit - the sky looks a little too dark to me and the highlights on the foreground logs look gray. I don't see any true whites on my monitor.
Nice shot & composition, but I'd like to see some closer of the cabin and some interior too.

It feels charred. So very well charred that I really like it. I think your pp choice is spot-on. This type of wood has that 1800's useless look burned by the sun. You took a shot of decrepit things and made them visually modern with a touch of the old film. Good Shot.

Agree - the tones are all pretty consistent throughout the image. More subject separation would be nicer for me.

its a nice shot but it lacks dynamic range in the tones. Control your highlights, shadows, darks, etc

It's next door to where I built this...years ago.

Thanks guys...will take your advice on the B&W rework.
