MF (6x4.5,6x6,6x7,6x9,6x12) B&W film images sharing

Hello,
I have been following this forum for years and admire your work. Some time ago I returned to the occasional black and white photography. The image below is taken with a Fuji GSW690 camera and cropped to a 3:1 aspect ratio. Fuji Neopan Acros 100 II developed unfortunately due to a temporary lack of other options at Rodinal.

That's an intriguing rock. I'm reminded of soem in the U.S. southwest similarly smoothed and shaped by wind and sand.

Nice composition and tonality (development looks OK IMHO). I especially like the idea of the juxtaposition between the artefact (chair) and the natural (rock). Maybe I would have taken a few steps left to increase the space between these two elements --and decrease the empty space at the edges; just a personal feeling.

Stream in Wisconsin. All along its length the park service has toppled trees across the stream. I don't know what the purpose might be. Is it to combat rampant photographism? 500c/m, 60mm, Rollei i.r. film

Now we all want to know! Don't you have in the USA some information rights for taxpayers?

A really nice, "quiet" photograph.

Yes there is an actual reason behind "chop and drop" - do a search for "large woody material stream restoration"

Here is an example article: 'Chop and drop' tree felling aims to improve stream ecosystems in Pennsylvania

Thanks for the education. I still don't like it, but I can see the point in restoration of the watershed.

Nice shot.
I have a very nerdy question - how did you meter the shot, please ?
Thanks
