Flint Hills, Kansas-II

lOVE the splendid composition, muted tonal range & perfect contrast which makes very nice mood & interesting story here, Joseph P., another wonderful rendering of the B/W!!! Best regards

Very nice. Love the Black and white. Take care

A composition that rocks! Wonderful image Joseph ,where the path lines and the scarce clouds add a lot to the charm of the photo. The standing figure adds scale, human presence and a sense of optimism-a crucial factor for me.

Compliments, Chris

Quiet a classic, Joseph. Reminds me of Thomas Hardy!

This is a superb photograph; and one that works really well in black and white. I love the composition you assembled here; it is quite striking! The gravel road is a terrific lead-in to the person and the old school. This has wonderful tonal range and contrasts as well. The tiny cotton-puff clouds accent that deep rich sky nicely. Even in the larger view there is still some banding in the blue sky. It may simply still be the PN compression; or you may want to look at the cyan and/or blue adjustments in your B&W conversion. All in all, Joseph; this well executed and presented. Cheers! Chris

I love this photo very much, Joe! I has a very unique mood... lone figure in front of this old stone building adds to it. Scattered small white clouds against deep sky add further.... Wonderful b&w image!

Beautiful composition Joseph but I really think this should be a very good image to be done with their Natural Colors, sorry, this is my modest and very particular opinion... Best Wishes.

Another superb work, the real piece of art..best regards my friend.

consistently good; the mark of a real photographer.

Excellent all!

Excellent composition and light Joseph. Warm regards my friend.

Love it. Another compositional masterpiece, much like your previous Flint Hills image. I like the tonal range of these last couple B/Ws. I think having the person standing there is the icing on the cake.

A photo transmitting tranquility and with some magnificent tones. Greetings.

Excellent, composition and B&W are perfect, Joe. Beautiful.

The composition, lighting and subject matter are all excellent, the B/W conversion is as good as I have seen. 7/7 except not able to.

Exquisite image. Everything works here.

Your black and whites have more color than most color images. The feeling is so strong-the old school is regal. Great image.

excellent composition, and great treatment in B & W. I like it

 

Best regards

Thanks so much to PN friends for your kind, supportive comments. I am very grateful.

Quite a strong image with great tones and composition.

Simple & Beautiful...

Another truly fine image. I think the darkness is completely appropriate as a metaphor for the darkness that has now descended upon the structure. Even though it has been preserved, is original function and life has been set aside, most likely for all eternity. So even in renovation and transformation it shall be a relic and a sad reminder of what was in a time of hope.

Love those strange little puffs of clouds in the dark sky here. The swing set is almost as big as the school house and I suppose an American flag used to fly on the pole next to it. Nicely presented, Joe! ;)

Excellent capture. Well done.

This is picture perfect the dabs of clouds and the wide open range love the road leading the eye into the image. Very nice BW
