Again, these are the same scenes, but different views than Nik's.

Actually, this first one is very similar to one of his, but I like it so much I'm gonna post it as well. :wink

    I really like 2,3, & 4. I like that Cheryl is not just using the trees as a backdrop or prop but that the trees are part of the form and figure. I would be interested to hear if you considered doing a B&W treatment on #4.

    1 & 3 get my vote. I wasn't sure what kind of tree that was until I just saw above. headscratch.gif #3 is so exciting! It literally explodes- like the borders of the picture can barely contain it! biggrinbounce2.gif

    Thanks, Nik! I LOVE wide angles! I probably use them too much and have taken some heat from you and others in the past for them. But they do have their place, and if I'm not mistaken, I'm pretty sure I saw you using one as well. :giggle

    Hey briandelion, thanks! That's what it was supposed to do. Your comment means a lot. thumb.gif

    Thanks, BradfordBenn! Truth be told, those are the first B&W I ever did. deal.gif Honestly, I'm not a big B&W person, but there is something about these shots that just seem to call for it. Here's #4 in B&W. I like it, and thanks for the idea. Comments on my conversions are more than welcome

    Cheers,
