Black & White

I've been playing with the Horseshoe Bend shots I took recently and this black and white I found pleasing to my eye. What do you think?

Not as single response. Do you guys really hate this? What am I missing?

Everything below the horizon is awesome. The blown highlights just turn me off. If you cut the sky out entirely, I think I'd really like it!

New Sky
Just experimenting:D

I like the new sky, Dan! Did you blend two different exposures to get that one? I agree, the first had maybe too little detail in it.

Thanks Schmoo. Yes, that is essentially what I did, only I did it with Photomatix.

I love B&W, this one is pretty good, but around the shoe seems to dark to me. I would like to see you lighten that area just a bit - otherwise I would hang it


Edit - just saw the second one - well done!

Hi Dan..... I like the first one like it is...... azzaro

I really like the first one but the cloud fringing is a definite distraction... not much of a fan of the second.

the second is much better. a little rough out there though.

Hey Dan,

My eyes like the second version best. The blown sky in the first one just kept pulling my eyes there, and away from that beautiful scene below.

Thanks Randy. Appreciate the feedback. It seems everyone is divided on these. So what's new

Hmmmmm.........my eyes do like the first one, but for the sky. The sky in the second one is much better. But...my eyes still goes to the first. Can you change out the sky in the first one?
