Ice Mounds on Georgian Bay

Great shot, Len! Lots of drama and contours!

Greg, Always a pleasure hearing from you. I went to B&W here because I wasn't pleased with the colour rendition & I increased the contrast for a more dramatic look. Even though the area was rich in textures & tones I wasn't thrilled with the results from that shoot though the exposures & sharpness were OK. Compositionally, I just couldn't seem to make anything but the shutter click. From your lack of posts from this shoot I assume you had the same problem. Should have brought a stepladder with us for a higher viewpoint. I have a couple more I'll post as soon as I get around to scanning them. Best, LM.

What about a crop at the bottom ? Just a bit too much black there, IMO. The almost graphic B&W was a good idea !

Carsten, Your opinion is greatly valued of course & I agree with your crop. It's now heading in the direction of a pano but since it improves the image so be it. This is much more dramatic than the original scene due to the application of artistic license with PS. Best, LM.

Yeah lots of drama from you Len! LOL. Very nice Yes, I would also third the pano version - Sean

Sean, Consensus is usually a good thing. I think I'll take it & run:-) Thanks for your input. Best, LM.

Len, I join the consesus of the lower part( brings closer the interesting rest), but it is a super nice shot. I like the directions of the water that create a rich textures. The light and B/W treatment are very well partitioned. Beautiful image to be enlarged !

Pnina, Thanks for your encouragement. I can usually get 2 or 3 acceptable (to me) shots from every shoot but this one came up wanting. I still feel this shot is the best of the bunch. Best, LM.
