timzeipekis 5 Posted December 29, 2008 A B&W version of a previous post, love to hear your thoughts..... Link to comment
Not Here 93 Posted December 30, 2008 Hey Tim... If I had not already seen the color version I would be raving about this one. Sometimes I find the B/W better depicts a scene, but for this one I prefer the color. There's something mystic about the colors here; but this is an excellent conversion.... Mike Link to comment
momagnum 5 Posted December 30, 2008 Hi Tim This is a very fine shot. Well composed and dramatic. It has a kind of mystery. The surface is hard and firm and stil the picture is soft and poetic. Tommy Link to comment
beartooth1 0 Posted December 30, 2008 Well Done....The tones are just perfect....I really like the little shadows cast by the gravel...Congrats Ken Link to comment
timzeipekis 5 Posted December 30, 2008 Michael - I'm torn between the two, they both effect me in different ways and usually I prefer B&W, but the color shot is very satisfying. Link to comment

Guest Guest Posted December 31, 2008 I like the feel of the vast foreground against which the small and simple tree is seen. The time of day means that the shadows on the stones suggest a lot of texture to the ground so there is much to "feel" here. For me, the color is warmer and softer, the black and white colder and accentuating the isolated nature of the tree. I prefer the color version. The sky in the black and white seems to have bands of magenta and blue which I find distracting. I'd be curious to see the sky desaturated of those colors. Link to comment
johnroberts 0 Posted January 2, 2009 A superb landscape with such simple but effective elements. I really like the grainy effect of the of the ground and the tracks leading the eye to the single tree. The tones are excellent. Regards John Link to comment
timzeipekis 5 Posted January 3, 2009 Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate the generous comments..... Fred - The color might be a product of the split toning I used, although I'm not seeing it on my monitor..... Link to comment
geu4king 0 Posted January 4, 2009 Like the texture, tones, soft lighting and contrast... Simple, but a Very Beautiful B&W Composition!!! Well Done! Link to comment
jeffl7 0 Posted January 6, 2009 This could be another planet entirely, save for that one little tree. You have so many exceptional photos that utilize this particular compositional style, long lines leading into a central statement. Link to comment
rarmstrong 0 Posted January 7, 2009 Tim, I like them both, but the incredible stark and sharp detail of the road in this version grabs the final prize! I really like your perspective and the low angle of the sun. Really great work! Best regards, Dick Link to comment
