About the Image(s)
First, I'd like to apologize for being late with my image. I had an operating system crash; had to reinstall the OS and all the applications I use; then find all my data files for recovery, along with the file with all my accounts and passwords (during this I was locked out of my admin access for our group). But its all fixed now.
Our local camera club had a monthly theme of "local buildings" and this is the clubhouse for our local golf course. I took the shot with my Canon 7D,EF-S 18-55mm lens at 42mm; f10, 1/400 ss, 250 ISO, and aperture priority. I cropped from the top and bottom so the clubhouse would dominate. Had to do a little rotation to have the white trim lines vertical and worked as saturating the contrast and colors a bit.
This round’s discussion is now closed!

If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have guessed that you worked the saturation on the building. Nice delicate touch there.
You might be noticing that I really enjoy post-processing, and esp. enjoy fiddling with other folks' images where I don't have a romantic attachment to my own expwerience at the time the image was captured. I hope that's not offensive.
I did try a couple of techniques to heighten the dimensionality: a gradient up from the bottom to add texture up close, receding up the hill; an adjustment brush (with luminance range mask) to make the stone wall a bit clearer; and another gradient coming down through the roofs, with a color range mask to limit the effect to the roofs themselves, to gently emphasize the receding slope of the roofs. As always, this is just be playing around with a bit of "well, this is a possibility ..."

Very interesting position for the building I like the fact that it takes up almost the whole of the frame. One thing my eye is drawn to is the windows at the top of the building in the middle. I like that my eyes are drawn to both windows where you can see sky through them.   Posted: 04/23/2021 14:39:03
