Fallen Sequoia

Comments and suggestions (especially about the tonal range) welcome.

Wonderful texture! 6/6

Perfectos tonos y gran calidad tecnica,, la textura es impresionante,,, sin 777 ,, un cordial saludo,,,6/6

Tonal range is pretty good, just a little too much contrast for me. Great texture.

Outstanding!!! I love the detail and texture. it's very pleasing to the eyes.

for stopping by. I personally think the composition is a bit too tight and I agree with Mr. Brake's comment about the contrast. Deatils are lost on the top left dark area. B&W image is really the area that I try to improve. Thanks again for all inputs.

Excellent image Jerry, amazing texture. Well done!a

I like the photo and disagree with previous cricisms of tonal range.

The contrast emphasises the fissures in the wood which provide the graphic hook.

Less contrast would lose the highlight/midtone variations which give shape to the foreground undulations.

Details in upper left background are expendable - especially for the gains. Having some good black is a good base for the rest of the tones to to stand on, IMO.

Strokes for folks, I guess, there probably is no "right" choice, just whatever suits your goal.

Cheers

Like it a lot. The way a b/w photo meant to be. Regards.
