The Dune Pool

To see all this image's details, including some critters tracks

working their way up the inner dune, please view larger. The challenge

with all B&W conversions is getting all the subtle color tones

converted to B&W without losing any. I always move all the sliders

just to make sure I haven't miss any colors that might be hiding

behind behind the main color. I believe that this image contains a

full range of tones and is stronger image as a B&W than color.

This is a pretty cool image! Somehow, the dune's slipface, in the shadows, reminds of the stripes on a tiger, and the textures in the FG lit portion of the dune are just amazing. Really a superbly processed black and white image. I am impressed that you still had this beauty rat-holed away for all of this time. This one just glows with light -- truly a luminous landscape. Well done, Amigo! Cheers! Chris

 

By the bye, you're right; the little critter tracks add another nice touch to this!

Excellent image, superbly converted to B&W. Fabulous range of, tones, and detail. Well done Leo!

All the best,

Neil

The composition is almost abstract. I like the bands of light and shadow. Nice!

I see the tiger stripes and agree with your observation. This one almost got away from me as I passed over it in favorite of some others on my first pass. Luckily I picked it up on my second pass and I was surprised that I had passed over it the first time. The processing was a little challenging as some of the subtle colors took some coaxing. Thanks for your encouraging words as I do appreciate them.

Thank you very much for those encouraging words.

Thanks for stopping by to comment. I do appreciate your input.

post production. I think you did a good job on tones, and the compo, well, it's fine and balanced. A work I like very very much. Ciao, Giuseppe

Thank you Giuseppe.

I will echo Chris' comment! a wonderful series of dunes.
