Definitely think the inclusion of the man adds to this scene.

'Walking the Twisted Path' is what came to mind when I saw this. And that of course can have several meanings: the twisted trees that align the path, the curve of the road, life as a twisted path that we walk...The inclusion of the man in the shot does indeed add visual and human interest to the composition. The man in the photo also gives the viewer a sense of scale; how grand and large the scene is in which he walks.

Nice clouds in the distance. The wind of the Danube is very nice as well.

I love the twisted trees. You are tight the man does complete the scene.

It's a good photo and you've done well in editing. But for my taste, I'd like the forground not so dark. Just a tad lighter. But it's only my view, perhaps you've already tried it like that. Anyway, well done, it's a splendid BW

Very cool with the river and the bridges.

Can you post up a full-size, unedited JPG? Let me see what i can do to make the stream pop in B/W? I have some ideas... Please PM me if you do, I am not visiting this regularly. It's a wonderful picture, in the main, but we need to reveal the stream.

I think you did a good job editing it. The b/w tones are nice and rich and I like the line of trees. You could try shadow/highlight adjustment to lighten your foreground, stream and some parts of the that major tree on the left - like the root area with pebbles around it. You may like it, you may not. :) The trunk/root on that tree looks awesome by the way. I'd try a dramatic, low angle/upward full tree shot on that one with some of the stream in the foreground leading up to it - either early morning or late afternoon, when the sun hits it nicely.

I like the b/w edits because I can enjoy a full range (from darkest to lightest grays). I also noticed lots of "V" echoes that I really like (in the branches of the trees, the valley of the mountains, the clouds in the sky) all which lead my eye from the left through the pic, toward the valley, then up to the sky.
