This photo was taken at Mono Lake in the Eastern Sierras of

California. Let me know what you think...

Very good feeling and excellent resolution!

Great tonality! Perfect framing. Nice job.

The contrail, unfortunately, detracts form the excellent quality and composition of this photo. Otherwise, 7/7

Looks very beautiful, except, maybe, a little bit to dark foreground water.

Quite engaging. The reflection and the texture in the sky are what hold my attention. Nice work!

It's a superb photo, great tones and sharpness.

i like the sepia

Very beautiful.

... the dark water surface and the surreal style. Beautiful piece of 'black&white' landscape photography.

Personally, I find the contrast of the rocks (whatever those are called, I'm sure they have a proper name) to be a bit harsh considering the soft, subdued sky and water. One of those cases where it appears to be either a composition or overdone in Photoshop. I'm not accusing you of this though - I'm well aware that nature can offer up some surreal images that appear artificial when in fact they're actually genuine, but this one falls into that trap for me.

Interesting comments Bruce. The rocks are called tuffas (spelling?). As far as the "artifical" comment, nothing artificial about it, I followed all the photo.net rules for unmanipulated images except for the sepia. I did adjust the contrast/lightness/darkness as well on both the picture as a whole, the mountains on the left and the water. Thanks for taking the time to comment!

WOW! Very nice. Almost alien looking.

Nice Mono Sepia!

Striking. Love your vertical placement of the rocks in the frame. very pleasing. You certainly nailed it. For the heck of it, did you try cropping to make it perfectly symmetric?

Has a martian look to it.

I like how the rock formation stands about against the dark water and dark sky.

Beautiful B&W work and toning. The monotone sets it apart from the common Mono Lake scenes.
