Hi guys.
Took this photo of the old tractor up at Lostock on Saturday afternoon. Unfortunately the nice blue sky ended up almost white

Must've had the aperture set too wide? Can't wait to use my new polarising filter.
Anyway there's 4 variations of the image below, having a bit of a play in photoshop to make part of the image black and white to see if makes the picture any better.
I'm not sure which I like best, but the "quick mask" technique to select part of an image (and then make it monochrome) will certainly be useful on some subjects.
The first one is the original, the second attachment is greyscale with brightness and contrast adjusted, and the third and fourth are the variations of the first one.
Comments welcome.
