B&W Ferris Wheel

[arith]

It's not something I'm used to but had a go anyway.

That looks to be an enormous structure. Masses of detail, but perhaps a bit dark?

Cheers.

I was going to say the same thing about the detail, could even work if portions of the scene were isolated such as the spokes are carriage. Nice effort.

[Geoff F]

Looks much better at full screen size.

Yes, possibly a bit on the dark side but I think the shadows need to remain fairly dark while there are a few small spots where the highlights are currently just below over exposure level. So any changes will need to be very carefully applied.

Nice trial

[Chri5]

Yes just a tad dark, Maybe try to bring it back in raw. up the shadows a bit? Maybe?

[MrB]

Perhaps straighten it, as well as brightening the image?



Cheers.

Good idea Philip, thanks everybody, I thought this is the sort of image suited to B&W, maybe a red filter will make it work better?

[arith]

Gone back to RAW and used an orange filter and colorise rendition using Optikverve Labs.

[Geoff F]

That has certainly brought out the midtones while retaining good clarity.

[IzzieK]

Getting better with each edits...I like the last one best.

[Chri5]

I agree with Izzie. The last edit is just right. The crop and re-process is perfect in my eyes. Great symmetry

Thankyou Chris, Izzie and Geoff. It was by following your advice.
