Great image Richard. I like the monochrome treatment which intensifies the vintage vibe. I thought a cropping option was to zoom in more on the three men by cropping off the roof and sides of the hut Posted: 01/07/2025 23:08:18
An interesting image Richard. For me a picture like this should be converted to mono or sepia (see below). I particularly like the man on the left. Like Mark I think it would be improved with further cropping. Posted: 01/11/2025 15:30:30

OK, if I had not seen the original, I would swear that this was an image from the 1800's. The cropping is just right. It provides location context with the other cabin on the left. The only suggestion that I have is I would remove the three plaques on the left side of the cabin. They distract from the impact of the time period this photo portrays. Very Nice.

Wonderful image and processing. I think David's toning and cropping make it even better. Just to see how it might look, I added a bit of texture to David's final (i.e., cropped) version. Your thoughts?
