Dear David,
Great image... :)
I must get off my butt and try that film, and that developer combination you happen to use. I do admire the tones that you generate using that combination.
Nicely done.

More great images here. Good job all!
Here is one from last year in Big Bend. Taken on Velvia 100F and converted in CS5 to monochrome.

Thanks, Steve & Jim.
Darren - I like that very much, and in particular the contrast between the sky and the landscape.
Jim
I hate to say this since you have made such inspiring photos of the sky, but i love the way you capture the effects of the clouds- light and shadow on the ground.
I couldn't help squinching my eyes to view a 1:7-ish panoramic at the bottom of your "April Snow Squall" [ and others]
Thanks very much for sharing

@David and @Peter
Thanks! The color version was ok on this but monochrome took it a much nicer direction.
Dear Ed,
Merci... :)
This image is approximately 23.5" X 38" at its finished size, where the detail present within the sunlit trees happens to be wonderfully visible, and yet very subtle like the entire base of the image. I waited for the sunlight to reappear, knowing that there were breaks in the cloud cover, but not knowing where it would light again. Sometimes you get lucky, although my luck changed very quickly with a bottomed out pickup truck in the soft rancher's soil.
For example, the trees within the full size image:
Again, thank you.

I like it too, Darren. A nice arrangement of tones with a beautiful rendering of the distant peak. Bring more. :)

YES monochrome really does it- The wonderful light doesn't need a blue sky and green cacti
thanks
