Which version do you like best?

a


b


c

Hi, Pavel! My choice would be "B". All the images have exteme ranges of contrast. I think B has the least. Must have been a devil to process to this point. Printing will be a challenge. When considering framing for your wall, choose a nice complementary mat and you may also wish to consider using non-glare glass. You will want to show off every bit of detail.

Yes B looks best of the 3, but they all appear rather yellow.

I also find the B version better, I can see more detail. I think it has better contrast too. I would suggest to check the white balance I see it a bit too warm.

I agree with Dennis about printing recommendations, but I also could advice to print it large and frame with a 4cm black frame, tight to the picture without mating.

I'm also going to pick B, for the better shadow details, and I do like the effect. It looks like an Orton, which doesn't usually do it for me, but it suits this scene and disguises some of the building in the background.

Thank you all. I am the one guilty for playing with the white ballance. I like the yellow effect, but it seems nobody else does. The photo was a bit of a challenge, since the exposure for highlights means that you have to work hard to minimize artefacts from bringing up shadows (noise in the shadows and a strange halos in highlights when using "fill light"). Thank you Dennis and Irma for suggestions about framing. Thanks Matthew for mentioning Orton effect. I did not know it and I just read about it. Thank you all. Pavel

I didn't say "I didn't like the yellow", just that it looks yellow.
It is a nice scene with a lot contrast.

Thanks NT, I also like the yellow. Pavel

I vote for B.

Thanks Don, it seems unanimous. Pavel
