Hi Renier

PLenty of textures in this composition. Really good in B&W. The contrast makes these leaves look like they'd crumple in the hand if touched...very delicate looking.

GReat POV, a great composition. Well framed. TFS.

Hi Renier,
Wonderful autumn shot of this bench that will be in mourning until next spring. Wonderful clarity and sharp details to this changing of the seasons shot.
Regards, Tom

Now this is my kind of work! Awesome! This is an excellent example of modern street photography.

Sharpness is amazing, detail, framing, lighting, the use of b&w was perfect. Hope to see more, keep up the good work.

Hello Renier. Excellent black and white conversion in nice contrast and saturation. The perspective is well kept under light and shadow. The maple leaves on the empty bench looks good from here. Regards. Jusni

Hi Renier,
Very beautiful close-up on this bench. These leaves seem to sleep
there since the last autumn. Excellent choice to convert the image in B&W, that reveals nice textures and interesting play of shadows and light! Bravo! Annie

hi renier, again the black and white is amazing, good light here and i really like the wide angle perspective,
tfs,
scott

Hello Renier,
I like the black and white conversion you have developed!
I think you should share the receipt, unless that is a secret of the trade...
This is a well composed image that is telling the story well!

Hi Renier, Your B&W series shows a deep commitment to achive some classic shots, and i think this will be one of those. ChCh has some very fine parks. The tight framing works well. TFS. Murray.

Renier

excelente composición te felicito

A superb image Renier. Very well composed and your conversion technique has produced good tones and textures. I was wondering why you have no colour images but after reading your answer to Pablo I think I know why. TFS,
David

Beautiful work! Congrats!

I like the composition with the leading lines and then the leaves over top. Very crisp photo throughout. I will study your B&W conversion explanation. Thanks for pointing me to it.
