[C&C] Nearly, but not quite, unmolested

    I had to "twist" the background while leaving the centre straight. Originally the hillside very distinctly slopped up from left to right. But, really, what's this topic of photo without a bit of molestation and a touch of reality adjustment?

    I would really like some input on a black and white conversion. I feel I have something fantastic in this image (I'm planning to repeat the shoot at leisure tonight, light permitting), but in black and white I'm losing something. Eh, I love the colour version, don't get me wrong, but I need black and white to fit in with my coming exhibition.

    Rise! I bid thee, rise! I'll be more subtle with my jibes in future, promise.

    Looks more like CGI graphics than a photo with all the heavy processing, tbh. Not for me.

    What do you think is wrong with it in black & white?

    The only thing I can think of is the possibility that you aren't getting enough tonal separation between the crucifix mound and the trees behind it.

    To me, the photo appears excellent technically, and the composition is brilliant. At first glance, I admired the symmetry, then I saw the grave on the right... a real visual kicker.

    And yet... I am not able to like it, ( even though I love some of your others) I dont like the colour of the sky, reminds me of grad tobacco filters which I loathe... I don't like the crucifix....always hated grotto-ey things...feck it , not much help am I ? Sorry!

    It hasn't and I haven't, that's the thing. I stitched it and straightened the background. Everything else is out-of-camera.

    Ah, ok. I was just going by how it appeared to me. It has a processed look about it somehow. Maybe it's the dramatic contrast between sky and ground? Just ... something
