Clement, welcome to the forum!

IMO I think this would work really nice as a black and white cropping off a bit of the grass.

Thank you tomorrowstreasures I appreciate your input and I did as you said : Cut out a bit of the grass and converted to a Black/White. I agree it does look a lot nicer this way. I also cropped a little off the right side.
I hope some day to "see" myself these possibilities.

Thanks again.
Clement

When you convert it to BW try a red filter adjustment it will darken your blue sky.

good suggestion, Greg! :-)

Clement- THAT is what we are all in this for - to help one another reach potential!

I think if you were to do as Greg suggested that you will really like your image a lot! Btw - it started off as a nice image!

Agree with both Greg and TT. Darkening the sky was my first instinct on this already quite good shot. Welcome Clement!!

Well there again, Greg's suggestion to use a red filter really improved the picture by darkening the sky. Thank you Greg.

Thank you again TT and thank you Marko for your encouraging comment. BTW Marko, I just found out about your podcasts and i'm trying to listen to all 71 of them ... all are very interesting so far. THANK YOU !
