Which do you find more pleasing?

I like the color version better... but I what I think the image suffers from is the lack of sharpness in the foreground

Blurry foreground has to do with f/stop and focus point.

Am surprised that no one cares for monochrome.

Thanks guys!

I understand that. I personally don't think it a shallow dof works here. I could be alone in this regard.

The color one for me too.

Good use of framing, but the subject (at least what I think is the subject, I have no clue what it is) is too centered

i like the color of the first one, but like the crop on the 2nd better. also, i think a little more focus on the foreground framing would help too.

Harkening back to the film days, the shot works better in B&W, IMO. The harshness of a midday sun is brought under control more in the B&W version.

I also have to agree on the color version and the comments about the foreground being too soft. That said, while I generally don't care for b&w conversion to begin with, considering the subject matter here you might want to try a nice, rich sepia instead...might work better than the b&w. Again though I'd address the oof foreground if you have the opportunity to re-shoot.

Just my $.02,
Jim

:( I have no focal point to rest on..if it were all encompassing, but this isn't?..it just lacks a visual spot for me...

I took a shot of the exterior about a year ago and someone suggested a retake from the inside looking out....:)

https://photography-on-the.net …15&highlight=da​lton+cabin

It was shot at f/8, thought that would be enough...guess it wasn't. :eek:

Will try the sepia.

Thanks folks, appreciate the input.
