VERY sweet image, Rooster. Try trimming a hair off the top, just down to the OOF dark green blob on the back leaf. There's just a tad too much space at the top of this image I think. Of course, I don't know how that would effect its print size accuracy for DPC prints.

If I were to print this image that's what I'd do for sure, but it was shot for a challenge, the theme of the image is "darkness & light", and I wanted a large, dark mass in the bottom and right of the image, which just a ghost of detail.

This is absolutely beautiful and answers the challenge extremely well.

This is a flawless B/;W conversion. My hat's off to you! One of my favorites on the more conventional side of th challenge, though there are some striking images that reach further for their edgy effect that i also love. Very nice work and an 8 from me.

Radcliffe Camera, Oxford

This is a beautiful rendering of this fine (and famous) subject. It's very well lit, with great control of perspective. Nice B/W conversion as well. In all respects (speaking as a retired architectural photographer) I love this image. But it doesn't really answer the challenge especially well, being a full tonal range image that happens to have a dark sky and some deep sahdows on the left. The subject itself, in fact, is rather muted of contrast. I give it a good score because it's not toally off-base, of course, but I don't think it's quite as responsive tot he challenge as mano of the other images.

Do I understand your question then, is it hopeless and forlorn?

John Setzler, as Ilive and breathe. Your typical excellent control of the BW conversion. One of my high scores thus far.
