Rhein fall, a photo from Schaffhausen, East

Photographer's Note

We started the trip to Switzerland by visiting my brother who lives in Scaffhausen, this place is one of the places he took us to see.
It is the Rhein fall, which is considered to be the biggest waterfall in Europe (the one with most water flowing through).
The weather wasn't the best so i decided to give it some B+W treatment.

Taken as a RAW file i processed 2 versions, where i took the exposure one down to get a better sky and then created a layer on top of the original and used the eraser tool on everything except for the sky.
Then converted to B+W and used the clarify tool max. 2 times and removed noise.

I have uploaded the original as a workshop if anyone should be interested.

Hello Harry,

You have successfully translated your photo in B&W, the overall photo has a strong atmosphere: it makes me think about some B&W horror movies like the ones of the Hammer company, especially because of the heavy sky and this castel on the top of the rock.
Thanks to have shared,

Yves.
