Excellent photo, the B&W works well... maybe just a little tighter crop.

God created the heavens and earth....and look it was good.

Nice shot.. just the dog in the frame is a bit distracting.

Very nicely composed and framed... The lighting is just right... the only negative is that it is very grain where the letters fade away.

there was the fire....

Nice shot... and the flames jumping up adds that nice extra element.

Reflections in Blue

Personally, I like how it moves from black in the lower right to almost white in the sky... very calming, to me.

Beneath the Still Waters

Thanks for the comments... Yes, I agree about the top right... I had the same thoughts, except I like how the water moves from deep blue in the lower left to almost white in the upper right. I also like how the water is so clear you can see rocks beneath the surface.

I will try to burn it a bit and see how it comes out. I, for some reason, seems pretty clumsy with the dodging & burning, even though I keep trying to practice:)

SOmetimes when I shotting from a tripod, I shot in sequence mode, because the first shot often has a bit blur, but the second or third will be crystal clear...

And I personally like the blue, kind of gives it a moody feeling:)
