OK. I will stop now. This is the final black and white image.
I was looking at the previous image that I posted. The idea was right, Just the execution was not complete. In Lightroom I tried a white vignette but that did not work. Then I tried a negative dehaze adjustment, which worked just great. I added back some black using the blacks slider, and this is that I ended up with.
This is what I was thinking when I started working on the black and white image.
This image has been added to a new collection I am assembling, called Fine Art Photography in Dorset.
