Just working with contrast to see how I do. I am a little shy about posting with all the great work here, but know that the only way to improve is to post and get CC. Please let me know what you think of this shot and how you would improve. I used a tripod with 5D and 24-105. Thanks in advance.

Robin,

Nice shot of snowy woods in B&W! I'd do a little more contrast if you can and not blow the highlights
on the ground.

Cheers, Steve

Steve/Michael thanks for the feed back and here is a second pass. (I hope this works as I haven't had much luck posting revised photo.) Using LR2, I increased the black, exposure, recovery, and clarity. Is this better?

Here is a link to a larger image. I uploaded the .jpg as I could never get the link to work in this post like we do in the original post. Is there a tutorial for that?
