Not sure how fitting the title is for the pic, but the pic is pretty good. Very busy though. It is not a picture with a clear cut focal point. Then again, this pic might not need it. I would prefer to see something colorful as the focal point to break up the trees a little. - Inspzil

Greetings from the Critique Club :)

and Greetings from Hickory, NC as well :)

I'm glad I got this particular image for critique because I really liked it in the challenge. I'm not familiar with the song, but I really like this as a black and white image. The contrast that is present in this image is very strong, and I think that is part of what creates a great black and white image. This image represents a great variety in tones all throughou the range from black to white.

Subjectively, i like this image as well. I always appreciate architecture, and since I naturally gravitate towards black and white, this is like an extra serving of dessert for me :)

The only improvement i could suggest, as i mentioned in my original comment, woudl be to level up the top of the image some.

Keep up the great work :)

This is such a hard shot to take, I've tried it umpteen times. I like the angle of the land to the trees here.

Great BW. Lovely job, winter is great for the long shadows, huh?

Nice desolation, feels like Blair Witch, in a way. Some good contrasts, but also seems a bit confused, which you may have been going for. 7 Swash

Arrrggghh, why can't I ever get my tree shots to look this good. You have strong vertical "movement" and I like the angle of the shadows. Nice work.
