More interested in feedback on compostion. Thanks~!

Fantastic light! Really great capture. The relection in the water adds another dimension to the picture. Care to share techincal info? App / SS? Congrats!

Excellent work, and very beautiful.

Wow, what a impact. congrats.

Love this shot,the tone and the composition :-) Phil.

Well, a LOT of work in PS. I don't yet own a graduated ND filter, so I had to correct it in PS. Split the image up (sky and ground) with the selection tool, feathered to get soft boundry with the other half. The individually adjusted the tonal ranges in each channel, then used the channel mixer to recombine.

 

What struck me WAS that puddle of water... Also since the vines are dormant, it also has that 'Grapes of Wrath' sort of feeling.

FIY - here's the original image from the camera.

I'm a great fan of high contrast, but I'm having a hard time getting over the tilted horizon. I also think it would work better if you cropped enough of the sky out to eliminate the two dominating black spots in the middle of the sky.

Hmmmm. I see what you are saying, what had impressed me though was the sunlight in the cloud structure, something about the sun offering the promise of a renewed growth (along with the water.)

beautifully detailed! black and white photography is a favorite of mine. thank you for sharing your artwork.

Very impressive and beautiful composition.

Got to disagree with the previous comment, I think the two dark spots really strengthen the picture, looks to me as though they are head to head and challenging each other! It was the first thing I noticed. Composition is fabulous, well done
