Lock 7 in Fog

This photo could no longer be taken because braces have been added

to support the lock wall. Any comments about the photo would be

greatly appreciated.

Great sensibility.

Great sensibility.

My imagination is running wild. Nice tones. Wish I could see a larger version.

Very impressionistic !

Hmmm . . . this looks familiar. :-)

 

Nice tonal range. I like the vantage point . . as if you were suspended above the water.

With light this contrasty I think you set up a challenge for yourself. I miss detail in the highlights as well as the shadows.

Nice image! Nice tonal range.Just enough detail to make this image work.I love Black and White for this type of misty image.Nice job.

How did you do this? The tone? I just like a lot about this...

Jeremy: Thank you for your comments. This is one of my favorite images. I am an amature, and I only sell a few photos even in a good year. However, over the last few years, I've sold more of this image than all of my others combined.

 

I can't take a lot of credit for the tone. The actual image is straight up black and white; I have printed it several times, and my preference is Kodak Polymax II with a strong selenium toner to give it a slightly purple tone. The tone in this image is an accident, and it came when I made a slide of the photo and had the slide scanned. I think that the color is closest to what I would have achieved by printing the image on Ilford paper.
