Convert to monotone in Lightroom with a fairly flat, low contrast, mono rgb preset - adjust contrast & convert to gray scale in cs3, the file did not look too bad.
Viewing this on different monitors pixalation looks very bad.
Rather like the oddness of the water, and the smoke above it. And you have flying water birds too. Not sure about the line of shrubbery. I think you should play a little more with this scene/these textures.
The horizon is a little too central for me and maybe more river or sky would help a little. No need to mention the water. Definately worth another visit? often barren scenes with something like the chimneys bellowing smoke work really well.
I love this Andre. It has an industrial artistic feel that is so appealing! There's something so dramatic about the smoke, and the birds, and I've never seen a photo of a melting lake like that. It's beautiful.
This is my neck of the woods, I take it you got to see some Bald Eagles while down by the river. Cool pic but I will agree that the water looks a bit strange, maybe ice since it was pretty cold then.
I like the contrast of plant against the sky. I'm not so sure about the pp, did you use Jeb's method? It works for the plant, but something seems a bit off in the water.
