Concordia elevator

Were you burning in the sky, or dodging the buildings? I like the tonalities overall, but the halo around the grain elevator is noticeable to the point of being distracting. This would be a good candidate for unsharp masking. Tricky, but if you can pull it off, definitely worth it.
If you don't want to deal with unsharp masking, you could try printing the whole image down for the sky, then bleaching the grain elevator back.

Go Kansas! It kind of reminds me of a shot I made of an elevator 30+ years ago. It is/was east of Topeka, Kansas.

One amazing building..... the halo doesn't worry me too much.

I love the building as well, but I think the halo is a little distracting. Otherwise very very nice.

Thank you for sharing.

Anyone, familiar with darkroom work, will notice the halo from the burned-in sky right away. But you know what? Nobody else does. To me, the print is near perfect. The halo helps to guide the eye to the main subject and keeps it there. Sometimes rules are there to be broken.

Nice printing! I'm glad the random gallery brought this before me.
