Hi Emil
Your cropping is spot, and so is the processing and composition. A simple subject which you've turned into something special in IR. Vignetting too has helped, taking the eye around the subject and beyond. Detail in the wooden structure beautifully rendered. Like it very much.

Great title, Emil! I like this a lot. I'd probably go for higher contrast and more white in the whites, but that's me with the dramatic blacks and whites. This is a wonderful application of IR.   Posted: 04/02/2021 13:19:55

When I first saw this, I assumed you had cloned some leaves in, but in reality of course, as Palli points out, it's just a very effective crop. This is another image, like Charles', that evokes some wonderful mood, however I do agree with Gary, that brightening some of the leaves a bit more would be even more effective. Currently, I think the tonality of the leaves surrounding the outhouse are too similar to those of the outhouse. That's just a minor observation, overall I enjoy this.   Posted: 04/04/2021 11:19:00

Beautiful image that captured the interesting "reading room" with its great textures and details. Framing with the leaves works well. Brightening the leaves may take away from the textures and details on the wooden structure. I like it as presented.

Palli, Gary, Jack, and Arik

I did work to dodge the leaves adjacent to the Reading Room and was timid about going further. In retrospect I could go a a little farther down that road

Thanks for your comments

Hi Emil, So simple yet so effective! The textures and clarity are so well presented. Perfect image for taking out the sky. Great job!   Posted: 04/10/2021 10:44:42

Emil, such a fun image, and rendered so nicely. IR can extract beauty even from an outhouse. I liked the way you cropped the sky out to emphasize the outhouse, especially its door. In post processing you sharpened the leaves of the foliage, which framed in the subject of this photograph. So, what's being read today?   Posted: 04/20/2021 22:48:56
