The Hoh Rainforest

I converted this using channel mixer, and dodged and burned a bit in

PS. Thanks for your comments.

There will be very few places on earth like the Hoh River and Queets vallys, magic places indeed, and you Sir are very brave to use B&W on such a traditional colour subject ! 6/6 for your efforts !

Great black and white! I think your dodging and burning efforts turned out very well indeed.

at first glance I thougt this was snow covered - great PS work

Perfectly composed, excellent detail....a real beauty. However, since I was just here and know what the Velvia originals look like...it NEEDS the color. Are you going to show the original Ken?? Still this is nice...for a B&W! You never have a bad one. Aloha.

Range of tones and clarity really stand out. This would / will look great hanging on the wall ...... Very well done.

Great tone and details! Are you going to show the original color version for comparison?

Beautiful Image, Excellent composition with outstanding detail. Well Done!!!

Ken, Every once in a while I cruise through the thumbnails of those on my 'favorites' list. Today it's your turn. I, too, love the composition here and the soft, low contrast lighting. I also agree with the others that this one needs the color element to be more successful. Always a chore to find something in your posts that is way out in left field. Critics (myself included) must, instead, satisfy themselves with minor nit picks. Always a pleasure. Best, LM.
