Very good, Tejal.

I zoomed in a bit tighter looking for any problems but everything still looks good.

Apart from the condition of that nearly derelict boat.

Nice image, Tejal, but I find the processing a bit muddy; both the black point and white points are giving you an image that is full of mid-tones but no pure blacks and whites; something that is needed in virtually any B&W image.

Very tight crop yet nicely angled.

Hi Tejal,

It's a good, interesting shot but ah agree with Manfred, it's too flat. Ah shoot B+W more than colour and prefer it, but in this case, ah think this would look much better in its original colour.

I like that Tejal. It tells a story. A bit of levels adjustment is certainly needed but oddly enough it looks better in Photoshop than it does on the forum. Maybe also needs a bit more space at the top (or a bit cloned off the rod).

[Geoff F]

There is a lot more contrast in this image when viewed with the Lightbox option.

Very nice image Tejal . It is difficult to say without seeing, if adding some contrast and/or black-white point adjustments add to the image or not. I actually like the image as is, IMO a bit dullness suits the mood of the image very well

I would agree to a point, Geoff. The overall image is flat, but the boat itself is contrasty (and in fact too contrasty). I suspect that Tejal made some global adjustments in her B&W conversion and the image needs both handled separately.

Thanks for your valuable feedback

thanks Manfred for your feedback. I will post the color version of this pic very shortly.

Hmmmm I have some other shots too. I will check those. Thanks for your comment.

Thanks Robert for your feedback. I will post the color version very shortly.

Thanks John for your feedback. Actually I have just taken the reflection of buildings. When I post the color version, I will include the buildings also along with the reflection. I hope, it will look better than this.

hmmmmm. I will try to work on it again and will post color and B&W version both together very shortly.

I will post the revised version in B&W and color very shortly. Thanks once again
