A wonderfully bleak image ... Poor tree has no leaves and the creek has no water. I bet it's cold out too? Great depth and composition. It really tells a story.

I'm a sucker for big beautiful single tree silhouettes. Very dramatic and stark especially in black and white.

This is such an interesting shot. I'm assuming the photo is upside down. It's different, it's unique. I like it. Adds a cool perspective.
Bumping score.

You've crammed how many lines per mm/inch into 800px? Sacrilege! :) And that on a $5500 rangefinder. Yikes! This needs to be uploaded in at least 1920px. Would be nice to see how that film copes with such a range of tones. Great scene to get so much in and still be a pleasant, thoughtful, lead-in lines and contrasts.

Doesn't get better than that. Besides the nostalgia us "old" 'togs feel for it, there's just a simplicity of the scene and the film characteristics. Took you half a day from start to finish and me 90 seconds to sum it up. Critics!

So nice to see film work again. Yes there are highlights on the ferns but it is amazing to see how versatile and fun film is. Nice set!

All my color film is now done by a lab (but I do my own b&w). I used to do the positive slide film but the processing was tricky, not healthy and the chemicals went off quickly. This was CS5 processed to sharpen and spot only, the color negative scan is 413 MB @ 4800dpi. I find the expired fuji films very sensitive to green/blue saturation, while the warmer hues tend to be more realistic but still can have a blue pull to them.

Yes, it is from the same roll. I usually do process the film scans in CS5 to some extent. This one in particular was very much high contrast and had Nik Silver FX pro and the Guy Gowan Process 5 action applied. So it has had a fair bit of work ;)
