Hi Ed, I like both versions, too. The emerald grass frames the stairs beautifully, and makes a such a nice contrast with the blue-gray sea and the earth colors. I think that the monochrome may be a little on the dark side - I tried see what adjusting gamma and white level slightly might do. I think that flipping the image was a good idea, and I love the arch that leads the eye to the shack. The stairs and the dark mass of the rock make a perfect Golden Spiral, too.   Posted: 11/13/2024 19:26:12
