Description

I haven't had as much time lately to post new works, but here's one that I took this past weekend (9/Apr/2006).

This shot was taken about 20min from where I live, where an old farmhouse used to be (see Olden Days by  trevorm ). Sadly, the farmhouse has since been torn down, but much of the old equipment remains.

This photo was captured with a Nikon D70 (1/20s @ f/16, EV +0.67, ISO 200, FL 29 mm), a CPOL filter, and a tripod.

By show of hands please; which do you prefer (see links below)?
* black and white (black matte) - above
* black and white (white matte) - below
* colour version - below

very good work, but I don't like the clouds. a bit more contrast in the sky would be better imho.

still: 9/10

I'm stuck between the B&W version with black matter and the color version! I enjoy both very much. Very good work! +10/10 :)

Excellent work.
Maybe a slight more space on the right side of the tree to capture its branches entirely would enhance...

i like the bw black matte most but im sure the colored version would look very nice too with a hard desat. it would fit the content i think.

I think i'd also prefer the colored version as well, but that's just my me. Aside from that, very nicely taken :)

Wonderful composition Trevor, I find the B&W works for me by providing an aged effect to an image already focusing on a relic.

Nice shot. Perfect day for it too, the clouds look great and there doesn't appear to be anything "extra" in the shot to distract from the main subjects. Good job (thumbup)

Thanks for the comments everyone! As always, the comments and critiques were helpful.

First, I never liked the title of this piece (was “Seeds of Yesterday” :p ), so I’ve changed it to “Once Upon a Time” (thanks to my wife for the title).

Second, I’ve added more contrast to the sky (good suggestion Lenn0), and more detail to the grass. I think I’m finally happy with it!

Anyway, check’em out and let me know which version you prefer (B&W1, B&W2, or colour). Thanks again everyone!

Black matte is best. The color version is fine but less impressive, and the white matte dosent fit at all for me.
