The dome of the 200-inch Hale telescope, Mt. Palomar, CA. I love this image in color too, but the BW conversion and crop worked so well, I posted it instead.

This is one of my favorites from your portfolio. Maybe I live close to Mt. Palomar... guess I should check it out!

You are right the crop and conversion work really well here. Lovely light and detail in the dome :o)

This image looks very alien to me, in a good way. Something out of a fifties sci-fi movie. I think it's beautiful, composition is great and lighting is perfect. Nothing to comment about.

great image and atmospheric in b/w. IMO ( and a very amateur opinion) the light on the dome detracts. Was this the sun on it in colour? Love the angle and the curve of the shadow. Woukd have been a great contrast entry!

I'd be interested in seeing the color version too, but I do think it probably looks best in B/W

One of my favorite types of shot! I bet this is great in color, too!
