You did didn't you!! I think I'd want to see less detail on the left and just focus on the light coming through the windows. Where were you going wit this edit?

 

[Hamish Gill]

Dunno really just tinkering ...
ill have another crack on the big screen at work I think ...

 

[Chris Dodkin]

I gives it a sort of small scale model look Hamish

So the D3 still works then?

 

[Brian Moore]

I think I'd darken doon the left side and, like Pete suggested, emphasize the light coming in the windies and doors. What's that thing--an artifact of some sort--up toward the top left corner? Maybe a security cam? I'd darken that away to be sure. But it's a cool shot Hamish!

Cheers for the thoughts ... I'll have a look when I get to work ...
I don't know how people cope with just using a tiny laptop screen!

D3 does work Chris ... Although its not mine anymore! The business has bought it so I can have a d700

Ive made a few changes ... and im pretty happy with it now
the oof bit is actually oof it was shot with my 85mm 1.4 at 1.4

That's much better I think Hamish. Now the image has a purpose if you see what I mean.

I'm not quite sure about how much it disappears to shadow now ...
really struggling with personal work at the mo ... I know I keep harping on about it, but it's driving me nuts

Work work on the other hand is going fine ... Really pleased with the job I did literally moments after these were taken!
Ill post some when it's been cleared with the people in the images
