Helpful Posts: For me, Jon, the lines seem to 'flow' better with the last image. Although possible a narrower aperture or a merge of focus points might give fractionally more focus depth. But it still needs to fade into the distance as you have done with that image.

Re: Week 11 - Something I dislike
Thanks for your thoughts Geoff, they are much appreciated. I will keep playing with this idea off and on

Re: Week 12 - Moon
I wonder if you could merge a couple of those moon images to create an impression of a different 'moon' Jon? No, I shouldn't put such ideas into your head.
These are working well.
A bit of a pity about the colour looking slightly 'blocky' with #3. It is such a good idea. Still acceptable though. I don't suppose it would convert to monochrome.

Re: Week 12 - Moon
Geoff, #3 was taken some time ago and I think the "blocky" color was something I did wrong in post. This location is the top of the courthouse in the town I live in so I will revisit again.

Thanks for the comments...and the idea on merging moons.

Re: Week 12 - Moon
Much better, Jon.
Not sure which I prefer but I suppose the monochrome seems to be more of a night time shot.

Re: Week 12 - Moon
Thanks Geoff. I plan on making it downtown one of these nights when there is a full moon and re-shooting this...maybe with some detail in the moon instead of a big white blob Originally Posted by Geoff F

Re: Week 14 - From a high angle
I know, you have already seen this one in another thread but I shot this one with this week in mind.

Re: Week 15 - B&W
Good exposure and clarity particularly with the action shots. And you have managed to blur the propeller; too many shots like this have such a fast shutter speed that the prop is frozen and you wonder, how is that plane staying up in the air!

Re: Week 15 - B&W
Thanks Geoff. It really helps when the plane is going so slow it looks like it is going to fall out of the sky Originally Posted by Geoff F

Re: Week 15 - B&W
Jon - I haven't been coming in to comment as much as I should have. Sorry for that. But I am looking and am loving the journey of exploration and discovery that you're taking in this thread. Good on you.

Re: Week 15 - B&W
Thanks for stopping in and for your comments Donald. Life gets busy and we all have to do what we can. I am enjoying this journey very much. I find it kinda challenging to have a specific theme for each week that I have to find an image to fit into but I am still plugging along in my own style (even though I haven't quite figured out what my style is yet) Originally Posted by Donald

Week 16 - Photo edit, before & after
Of all my weak points in photography Editing is probably my weakest. I edit with minimal software and the software I do use I only know how to use a small portion of it.
I don't know how to clone, burn, dodge and all those other things people do. Don't get me wrong, I am working on it but it is very slow coming.
With that said, here are a couple of before and after shots with my minimalistic approach to processing.
SOOC
1.
Cropped, re-sized, sharpened, tweaked and converted to B&W
2.
SOOC
3.
Slight crop, re-sized, saturation adjustment and sharpened
4.
