Of course you were there when the image was captured, so you understand the scene and what you intended more than one who views the image. From my perspective the edited image seems a little too washed-out. Also, it appears that the camera may have been tilted a little since the trees on both sides of the building tilt inward. That could be just the way it was, of course, but if not then a little tilt correction in Snapseed could correct it. Nice winter scene.   Posted: 03/04/2019 14:04:23

I agree with all three of you! I really did not have a good look at the result until I had already sent the image.
Thanks for your comments.   Posted: 03/12/2019 10:53:05

I love images of old buildings. You were on the right track, but using Snapseed's HDR often doesn't work well. I made some relatively minor adjusts including, reducing brightness and color, and increasing contrast.   Posted: 03/05/2019 15:37:58

I love photographing old buildings and exploring what's inside. I agree with Bob and Dave on the HDR. I find it often doesn't work in scenics unless you go for a "natural" look. I like Dave's edit where the highlights are toned down and the contrast increased. I like the composition and the cold feel of winter.   Posted: 03/06/2019 11:08:23

I don't see the tilting problem but I do think the image is a bit soft and improving the "punch" through any of the adjustments in Snapseed are helpful.It's a great winter capture and that old building is quite interesting.   Posted: 03/13/2019 15:46:35

Forlorn little house and forlorn trees denuded by winter . Scene cheered up by brilliant blue sky and puffy white clouds. Dave's editing makes scene pop. Fun playing with apps and finding out what they can do. Learning curve for all of us.   Posted: 03/15/2019 11:55:48
