Criticism would be welcome.

Love the light here Don!!
if I lean back, it is mesmerizing!
So wondering if little bit more of the scene was available....
Cheers!

vind dat er net wat te veel beweging in de lucht zit.
verhouding voorgrond lucht ook niet zo goed.
omzetting wel geslaagd.
grt,boco.

I agree that maybe a little more of the scene......

I really don't have much criticism here. I love all the BW shots on your site. One thing I would recommend however, is that you turn on the Right-click Protect feature in your Gallery Settings - it's too easy for someone to "steal" your work. :yikes

Cornflake

Thanks for the comments. There really wasn't more to include.

And Cavalier, thanks for the reminder about right-click protection. I just did that.

This is one of your best!!

The BW conversion is spot-on as well as the composition. Nice job!

Cornflake

Sam, Mike, thanks very much.

Great light and lovely conversion.

I like this image a lot, but I do wonder, if the bottom 1/3 of the image is really necessary for the success of this image. If it were my image, I MIGHT try cropping out the shadowed 1/3 across the bottom. Might...

I do like the light and the sky.

Cornflake

Pathfinder, thanks for the feedback, and you raise a very good question. I considered cropping out the bottom 1/5 and decided to leave it as shot. That doesn't mean I was right. I'll give it some more thought.

Juano

This is a great shot. I love the lighting and the sky, I agree however that cropping the bottom part would enhance it.

PGrGr

Truly beautiful.

The first thing I noticed was that the sky is slightly soft and blurry at the top, especially at the top right. I feel this marginally spoils things. If I could offer anything constructive it would be to angle the camera slightly further downwards and capture more, not less, of the interesting ground detail, at the expense of the closer, and more rapidly moving, part of the sky. Or use a shorter exposure time.

However, if I were in your shoes there's no way I would have thought of that at the time, so I still tip my hat to you for creating a wonderful picture.

Cornflake

Cristobal, PGrGr, thanks very much for the comments. I didn't really get to think much with this one. It was a cloudy morning and the sun briefly broke through and lighted this area. It isn't all that it could be, but it has something.

Great Conversion, I like the contrast between the clouds and ground, makes the rock more brighter and sharpness. What was your aperture in this one?

Cornflake

Thanks, amity. F/16.

I like it… It looks 3-D. I see where it might be a little close for some but it does look like I am right there.

Please keep in mind that right click protection doesn't protect your work. Yes, it pops up a message - but it's merely a small stumbling block. If a photo is shown in a browser then it is also in the browser cache and can easily be grabbed from there.

I echo all of the above. The conversion is just right and the mix of sky and rock is very appealing. I feel like I could walk right in. I do think a crop of the borrom would make it better. Overall, it's a great shot.
