[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Well this one might be a bit over the top, but it's a photo that I posted originally as the original colour version about a year ago. This is one of those rare scenes that look pretty awesome either as a colour or as a BW. Heck maybe I'll play with an IR conversion sometime too.
I know alot of people don't really know what to do witrh a BW photo or how to critique it. A good BW image is more dependent upon a good tonal range with varying highlights and shadows and drama. This is still a very new area of photography to me but its alot of fun learning and expanding my options.

Once again you created a photo that makes me feel as though I've travel to another world. I love it! You have a way of taking a view and making it uniquely your own. That's a true artistic virtue!

Hey, I should get my filters...cheap as they are ha ha ....today. I've been tracking the package. Thanks for all the help with this so far and I'll probably bother you again once I start using them.

The one advantage to a portrait angle is that it will fit nicely on certain greeting cards. At one time I sold hundreds of greeting cards with local historic scenery on them and found that a mix of 70% landscape and 30% portrait was what the public like. If all the others would have been portrait, the whole story of the area would be incomplete....there must be some mix..that is for point of sale, which even the best of photographers have found is mostly a loosing business.

Hi Tim,
A real Stark Trek scenery.
Well composed. Nice B&W.

A very cool surreal looking location, you have achieved really nice results on this fantastic black and white landscape image. Well done Tim.
