62 Nov 23 Comment Pete!
Happy Halloween indeed. Great tonal range and I like how you have made the tree stand out. If you look carefully the tree has it two largest limbs reaching outward to the viewer drawing you into the image.

74 Nov 23 Reply Good catch on the yellow color and resultant effect. I'll try that... Nov 10th
74 Nov 23 Reply Very nice capture! Nov 9th
74 Nov 23 Reply GM Haru,
Thanks for the detailed commentary. Yes, the color version does has a "directionality" of light and guides the eye. Difficult to do sometimes in a B&W conversion and that is the one concept I was concerned about with this image...

74 Nov 23 Comment Very Strong Geometry (triangles) Haru and agreed-not boring. I agree with Melissa in terms of having the sky tones more of a gradient like the color image. Personally I would like to see more from this location, especially on the right.

The other feature of your image that I like is a theme I've played with and that is "tenacity of life". I mean you have foliage growing "out of the rock" on the left!

74 Nov 23 Comment Very Nice capture Stacey.

It is more difficult to compose these huge Oaks than one might imagine. Studying the lighting helps this a lot. We were in Charleston one year and had an opportunity to shoot their famous Oak, Angel Oak, and tripods were not allowed as well being very crowded! I agree with Melissa and slight dark vignette will draw the eye more to the tree center.

74 Nov 23 Reply Thanks Melissa,
I will try that center mountain edge and see how that works. And, I agree with the size contrast between the buildings and the glacier, hence my naming the image"Relativity"...Controlling all of the tones was a challenge.

74 Nov 23 Reply Thank You Stacey!
Yes it was a magical moment when the sun peaked through the clouds and lit up the scene. Looking at all the comments thus far, I decided to include the road and buildings to keep, as you said, the context and give the image a sense of scale. However, a little darkening to not take away from the glacier tones seems appropriate.

74 Nov 23 Reply Hey Pete,

Thanks for the modifications on the image. It is more focused on the glacier and the mountains w/out the road in the foreground. Noticed the darker cloud texture as well.
Very moody now.

74 Nov 23 Reply Thanks-I'll check it out. It could be the contrast as well due to the very bright and dark boundary on that mountain ridge. I do print in large format sometimes and I have seen that happen... Nov 6th
74 Nov 23 Comment Happy Halloween! Nice capture of the season activities. Good tonal range given the conditions-remove/vignette/darken/that upper left corner? Nov 6th
74 Nov 23 Comment Very nice perspective and composition. Can you darken the bridge and the sky as it is a bit bright and takes away from a lovely image. Nov 6th
74 Nov 23 Reply Actually I think it is a nice rendition as is. Love B&W plants to show structure and geometry! Nov 6th
74 Nov 23 Reply Thanks Ed for your comments. I'll have to look at that front range edge to be sure. In terms of "front range" which side left or right? Nov 6th
