    Night Hut



    I had this pic in colour but it wasn't doing it for me. let me know what you think of it in B&W. The conversion also introduces some grain up top.

    Wonderful Liban, maybe clone the bright light in the middle. This is also a great choice for B&W. Dude you have a tall tripod.LOL

    Hah, didn't notice the tripod before reading this.

    Excellent shot! I can feel the cold wind and everything is bright enough.

    Great shot. Nice and moody with deep long shadows. For some reason the lights don't bother me. though I suppose they should be toned down a bit.

    I would maybe shop out your shadow. And possibly the tripod shadow, though I personally actually like it.

    I think the tripod and your shadow add interest into what otherwise would be vacant space. Cool shot.

    Isn't it a cool thing in nature that the colours never seem to clash...

    I have no issues with you editing my photos

    Anbeso, thanks, yeah, I'll see if a shot without the shadows will work better.

    Re: Night Hut

    Wow, really nice !

    This is almost a classic. I want those right side lines/whatever outta there (may be worth a PS job). The sky is excellent though I wonder if it's necessary. A plain, star lit sky may have been more appropriate (and romantic, as this shot seems to lean that way). The blurry clouded sky is still good, but I wonder if it belongs on another subject?

    The lack of people works here, but it would also be a very strong shot with a girl and boy (woman and man) sitting on the steps or on the sand.

    GB, thanks for the suggestions. yeah a person there would've helped. I tried a self portrait and i suck at the lighting (still). That's gonna be my next photography challenge to overcome. Thanks!
