A beautiful monochrome image has been presented which is symbolic. From thumbnail it appread to be an underconstruction rail track unless I have seen it in full. Fine details are taken along with good light.

Wish you too a Happy New Year and drive safe my friend. Thanks for sharing joy.

Hi Linda,
Great thought "the 2007 way up"nicely in B&W. For you the same my dear Linda: Happy and Healthy New Year.!
Hans

i like the framing and POV choosen
good choice of b/w, the tones look a little light for me, would prefer a darker tone and contrast but thats just personal taste for b/w :)

Amen !!Sista linda 's back!!!,YOUR kinda pics ,really great

hi Linda

Nice composition. the choice of black and white was very effective and strengthens the shadows that are so dominant in this scene. Nice job!

I simply love all the lines and the shadows, the the path going upwards to the unknown.

best wishes,

Marleen

Hi Linda,
we are also under grey skies, but no snow so far. I like this B/W composition, very nice textures and nice details. Great light and shadow play.
Lets hope there is a lot of wonderful things on the 2007 pathway. Happy New Year.
Sky

Hi linda,
Very good strong image, well composed with the curve of the steps. I love the shadow cutting across the FG as well, it really adds aome value. Good in B&W. I wonder what it looks like in colour?
Take care and Happy New Year!!!!
John

Hi Linda. Have a safe and enjoyable New year. These old bones will be in bed at normal time. An excellent image and ideally suited to the conversion. Lovely tones and superb detail. TFS,
David

Many thanks for your comment on ' Eden Holme’

Step by step we go ahead...
This is not a pathway... this is a Life!
:)
I like it's inviting to walk. In autom i enjoy very much that smell under the trees, that particular could we say sweet sour of decomposition of the leafs on a moist land... Under the rain it's an explosion of smells! ANd when the sun is back... the colors of automns were cleaned.... Waiting the sun...
Even the B&W who is great... You will never erase the colors of the automns i had in head :)
Happy New Year!

Nice work Linda, very good result here.
I will follow the path for better luck into 2007. -:)
Happy New Year.

Great shot Linda, all those wounderful shades!
Well spotted.
Wishing you all the best for 2007
Mark

Beautiful composition with nice black & white colors & details. Well done.
Happy New Year.
Mitra

Happy New Year, Linda! Thanks for sharing your photos with us. Look forward to more shots in the future.

I love this photo. I like the choice of b&w for this type of shot. At once it says going forward but the b&w reminds us (maybe just me:)!) where we came from. Great composition and details. Cheers, Todd

Striking image Linda. These steps leading up are like an invition to see behond. The use of B&W is perfect for this presentation. Very well done.

Paul

I drink and don't drive.(°U°)

superbe that picture is ,that bw is very nice,the greys are superbe also
cheers

Looks like a very nice path to walk. B&W adss to the mood.

TFS,
David

hi Linda,
this is a nice shot. Great use of the lead-in elements.
I think I prefer the sepia version, but this is good too.

Well done and have a great weekend.
Regards, Daniel
