Good one Julian!

Your black and white conversion is excellent here; with superb tones and contrasts. The composition doesn't quite work for me though. IMHO, I think the FG brambles are the subject of the composition; consequently, I'd be tempted to lose about 50% of the sky. While it changes the ratio of the image (although a slight crop of the right side might help restore that), I think it ends up with a more harmonious and balanced image. Just my two cents, my friend. Cheers! Chris
