Hey all, thanks for the replies. It's funny because looking at the picture yesterday, I told my wife to please remind me to go for a more simple composition when I'm shooting. I actually like yours better, and it is probably close to what I would have gone for if I had plugged my brain, or if I had taken a little more time to think.Quote:

But in a manner which I can't explain very well I feel that B&W pays back the "lack of color", improving our skills as photographers, in this sense: after some months doing only color, if I convert the image to B&W the images seems to vanish, loosing something, perspective, composition strength. But with some months making b&w mostly, every color image I I casually convert to b&w is strong in composition terms, revealing even unaware perspectives not easily perceived before.
Jazz,
Terrific shot, these greens are some sort of which I never saw before, very mythical for a foreign like me, looking to the browns and greens of the brazilian prairies and forests,
Best,

Sorry. Like the original better. But there is an appeal to the cropped version.Quote:

Nice shot! Great green tones, and well-composed.
Here is one from me:

This was scanned in and I'm not sure if I want more contrast or if I want to leave it as is.
I have finally had the chance to work on some images from the past year. Here are a few from Capitol Reef National Park which is quickly becoming one of my favorite areas. All images taken with 8x10 film using an Ebony 8x10. If I recall correctly, the first was using a Fuji 300, the second using a Nikkor 450, and the third using a Nikkor 150.
Fantastic images, by all the past authors... Each is completely different and each is very interesting. I really like the greens in the Iceland images by JaZ99. The frost on the waterfall by fishbulb is fantastic. And Jim's images are like from another world...
Lovely Jim. Especially the first one
Very nice across the three. Killer clouds in the first!!! Sweet!Quote:
