Hi Linda

I'm in Incheon tonight, & catch the early morning ferry to Baengnyeongdo (Island). A superb b&w image, with the row of tussock grass providing good lead in lines. Excellent repetition of the trees. Tfs!

Hi Linda,

We have more water than we want and you have none old mother nature seems to be of her eggs a bit. The dof is very good the b&w conversion helps makes the shot imho and emphasises your currents drought condition tfs.

Hi Linda,
lovely mono conversion, plenty of contrast between tones and a well chosen POV using the trees to create bags of depth. Nice work, and i think the workshop is awesome too :o)

First I must say thank you for sharing the ws with us. That's so awesome!!
This beautiful b&w takes me back to my childhood when the days were spent on horseback in places so similar to this. I love the well thought out composition, the repetition of the trees. Very nice lighting and contrast. LOADS of depth. TFS

Hello Linda,

It's like tuning into the newsreel on your site, today!
How exciting!

Two very interesting and very different shots.

The line of trees really does not resemble what you expect in summer! It looks more like a winter's scene!
(I find it difficult to associate with your drought as we are experiencing the most horrendous downpours on a daily basis! So much for a barbecue summer!!)
A fine composition and good use of b&w.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Particularly with that dark sky, black and white really compliments this contrasty landscape shot very well.
