Hoi Erik,
Mooie scherpte/diepte in deze foto. Zwart/wit doet het goed. Volgens mij heb je korrel toegevoegd of ligt het aan de ISO waarde? Zeer sterk beeld, waarbij je een goede keuze hebt gemaakt vlgens mij om de boom in de hoek te 'centreren'...

Heel mooi die boom met onscherpe achtergrond,
Groetjes,

Bonsoir Erik
Scan bien réussi et excellente composition qui s prête bien au noir et blanc. J,aime bien l'effet grain de l'arrière plan et les détails de l'écorce.
Bravo
Serge

This is absolutely awsome!! so unique texture, it looks very calm and piecefull even if it is wounded, maybe because of that it is grainy in the back, or maybe because the actual wound looks like a heart of that tree. even it is made in b&w is is so worm.. perfect job Eric!!

every day better shot!! congrat. :o)

Best regards
Maya

Bonjour erik

tres bonne composition est excellent noir et blanc.

decidemment, il n'y a que l'argentique pour reussir un tel grain.

bravo

Olivier

hello! fantastic capture! great composition! TFS

Wow! The black and white tones of this picture are amazing. Really nice POV and background...there is just some kind of mood to this picture but I can't really describe it. Have you ever heard the song "The Scientist" by the band called Coldplay?? This picture sort of reminds me of that song and music video(Very good by the way).
Anyways, greatly composed and nice note.
TFS!

Goeie zwart/wit ! Mooie doortekening in de schaduwen, lichtinval zit goed, ritme, scherptediepte.
Eventueel iets tegenhouden op de linkse boomstam en iets doordrukken op de rechtse. (1/3 stop zou genoeg moeten zijn denk ik).
Ik zou dit negatief wel eens graag afdrukken.
PS: ik kijk nu op een gecalibreerd scherm. vergeet de vorige opmerking maar. het is perfect.

I love the darkness and mood of this shot Erik,
Great use of the grain effect and DOF to create
a powerful yet simple and elegant shot
Great work, Vincent
