Winter in Hamburg | Looking for some feedback (general, BW edit, crop)
I own my xt5 for about a year but only recently started to go out more with it and this is a shot i do like enough to try editing it. While shooting i did use BW preview (JPEG preset) but also had the raw for editing but decided that BW works great here imo (still edited the pictures you see based on the raw). I used the laowa 65mm f2.8 2x ultra macro apo lens for this, dont remember the aperture but it was 1600 iso at 1/125.
Im looking for general critique but also would like to know your opinions about the heavy snow vs the shot i took before it snowed that heavy which looks cleaner and overall sharper but i also think the snow adds atmosphere and something special but its hard for me to pick a fav.
In addition i would like to hear some feedback about the BW edit. Not in terms of like if the BW works or not but rather the execution of it with things like contrast, light shadow balance, exposure etc.
Lastly i tried a tx1/xpan crop wish i also like but again just with the snow im not completly sure if i would prefer it. Opinions on that matter are also welcome.
