comments appreciated, thank you!

The unusual perspective is effective. That and the differing textures are what hold my interest with this image. Well done B/W conversion.

Having viewed the very green, very wet after-the-rain shot first, I didn't think I'd like a B&W shot so much...but I do. Excellent work.

Jeff, thank you very much for the kind comments!

 

Tim, thanks again and I'm glad you like this! I was wondering what Ton Mestrom would think. I really haven't done much black and white. But, for some images it just feels like a good fit.

 

Regards,

Very nice B/W , and well composed Dick, rich in details, good light, well exposed.

Thank you very much, Pnina!

Nice perspective, composition and black and white conversion.

Nice to hear from you, David! Thanks for the kind comment on this...it's about time that I put up something without flowers:-)!!

I'll second that!!!! lol

Well, I can sure tell you what Ton Mestrom thinks. You did very good making this a b&w. I think you can make this even better with some selective increasing of the contrast but to be honest it looks already very good. So you as well are entering the black zone. The more the merrier.

Hey, Ton...Hello and thanks for the comments! It's kind of wierd how you begin to associate certain techniques and kinds of images with people here on PN. When it comes to black and white, I think of you and Max. It's good to hear from you!

Well I certainly know how to graciously accept a compliment when it's handed out...

 

Thanks for that

You sir, are very welcome:-)!!!

No expert on black and white but this seem to work well with the shadow and light.

Very simple but effective. Take care

Thank you both for looking and for the nice comments!
