Outstanding in every respect. There's real emotion in this photo - a melancholy and de ja vue. The sepia totally works. Wish I'd taken it.

Beautiful subject and compo. Not as sure as others about the toning. What does it look like in color?

Good scene either way.

Frg- I like this scene
I think I prefer B&W to sepia for landscape unless one is trying to evoke nostalgia for a familiar old place. The subject seems to be the sky and the play of light in the clouds. I think cropping the lower water and dropping the horizon from the middle of the frame would help. Steeping the curve to separate the tones in the clouds and to add a bit more drama would help:



This is just my take on it(hard to get more detail and tonal range in a ......
800k image).......... and you probably like it the way you took it which I understand.
