    I like #4. Are these from Canyonlands?

    Latinooo...Thank you.

    joe-bob....Thank you. Not Canyonlands, these are all around the St. George/ Cedar City area except 6 which is near Kanab and 1 which is in Nevada.

    Fabulous scenery. Processing is way too dark. Check the levels in LR before you export them, they don't have any pixels at all in the upper stop. Maybe your monitor is too bright.

    I think I tend to process to the dark and gloomy side when doing b&w. I can't blame my monitor.

    Hi
    I really like #6, You say your new to B&W, As you learn more about processing B&W. dodging and burning ect. #6 would look outstanding in the future, Well it looks very nice now but to make it really pop it would be a really nice photo. Here is a link to a outstanding Fine Art B&W Photographer. A link to his website and a link to his blog where there are articles on teachings on B&W processing made simple just using Photoshop with no plugins.

    Nice set. I particularly like the first 2 because of all the shapes and textures in the rock.
