Toledo Botanical Gardens, Ohio

Sony DSC-S75, f/3.2, 1/500, -1/3, ISO 100, Sepia toning applied in PS

For the most part I usually prefer things in living color. I've just been playing around with PS lately and am interested in thoughts on this shot. All comments and suggestions for improvement are welcome. Thanks for looking!

I love the toning here Laura. I think B&W is the perfect medium for this shot without having the colors to distract from the Gazebo. You might try cropping a bit off the bottom by the shadow line.

Nice shot. Doesn't look sepia though. Has more of a cold selenium tone to me.

Laura, I like the toning here. Gives it an almost metallic feel, like it's printed on tin or something. I'd probably crop some off the bottom though. Nice PS work!

This is very nice. I might have considered raising the camera to call more attention to the vertical elements but still include a little grass fg. I like it as is though and it makes a nice B&W.
