mudbrick house

Nice image with lots of detail - it looks as thugh the foundations are there but to me this needs more contrast - the shadow areas, for me at least are too light! As to the toning - most people would probably shout selenium but you could get a good tone from using selenium and sepia too that I think would be good for this image.

I think that the orange filter you used made the mudbrick lighter and reduced the contrast with the white plaster. If the site is near why not experiment with different filters. A green filter would get the bricks darker without darkening the white plaster. I like the subject and composition.

Thanks Carl and gma. I tried printing this again last night with some success at adding contrast into the right side, but I will try to reshoot with another filter as well. Perhaps I'll get some help with better light at a different time of day...
Once again thanks for your comments,
James

I recieved this print in the group exchange and the final result is a very nice print indeed! James, if you made yourself a copy you should scan it and post to show the difference.
