Critique Welcomed Cairns Morning

[Milan Vjestica]

Taken on a pre-breakfast stroll in Cairns this week. With the direct sunlight the colours were washed out so B&W to the rescue!

Beautifully rescued Milan - the flare adds more than it detracts I think. Super stuff.

the white balance seems off. nice b&w conversion, good detail and very little haze for shooting into the sun, i would have expected to see the background blown out.

Thanks Pete and Beth.

It did turn out better than expected. Some studious use of highlight, shadow and white sliders in LR and a B&W conversion in SilverEffex Pro 2. Cairns is in the tropics and it is winter at present so not as much humidity or haze at that time of the morning.
