This has a wonderful composition - all the elements work well together and just the right balance of the dark dark at the bottom and the bright bit at the sweet spot. Nice use of texture to give the space in the middle a bit of, well, texture. :-)

I like it that the dog is in the sweet spot and the owner is walking out of it. Great ab&w.

Can't you just hear the swells of the violins as this book cover comes to life? WOW - how beautiful. The little lacy fingers of the tree make it tell a story.

You TRULY have a wonderful grasp of photography in general and use of this tool in particular. You actually have two exceptional photographs here - the one as presented, with those wisps of trees above, the reaching flow below. Then if you were to crop the top down to below the horizon, there's a whole new level of darkness that takes hold. It is truly a pleasure to see what you're doing with this challenge.

Nice toning - she appears to be in the act of turning her head to greet you.
