Checkerboard Sky-B&W

Works for me Roger. I like the contrast.

Roger, this is a great image. But may I ask is this manipulated, the clouds look unreal?

Roger, very good composition and combination of lights, shadows, textures... Congratulations,

I selected the clouds and softened them with a slight blur, because of artifacts left from the scan. On the day, they were soft and broken, thus the name. *R*

It works more then well in monochrome. I love color, but this is amazing! I see the love for your country in it. Softening works well.

I am happy with this shot, and you are right, better in B&W ! Still need another scaner....Smile ! *R*

I think this is your best yet. Im soooo jealous. Great shot. Would be a great addition to any portfolio.

I think this works better in Monochrome, comments and suggestions

always welcome ! *R*

Jennifer, from you that is a thrill! A Lady who goes out in freezing weather to capture shots !*R*

The way the sunlight is playing over the gully is brilliant - I think the mono helps accentuate the change in tone associated with this. That sheep sticking its head up at the bottom made me laugh!

Andrew, knew you would like this...., riding on the back of a sheep....Smiling here too !

Roger, etch another knife and go out and buy a proper scanner to go with your proper camera, this is a proper good shot.

Might have to just do that, you should see the print ! *R*

Beautiful!

Strong, gritty image, Roger, gives me the impression of a hot barren landscape.

Roger, this makes me uncomfortable. That sheep is looking at me. His constant gaze. The way the eyes follow one across the room. scary.

 

ok, seriously. kick ass photo dust pan man.

Good choice to go BW. Great.

Roger, this is absolutely poetic. It reminds me of a quote by Ernst Haas..."A picture is the expression of an impression. If the beautiful were not in us, how would we ever recognize it?"....I concur.

Beautiful light. Bravo!

I can see your work and know what I'm shooting for. Thanks for the bench mark-incredible work!

Linda, your Haas quote gave me a chill, I love what that says, how true ! I will remember that, thank you !

This is an inspiration, Roger.... I love it...!!!
