Although this is not my favorite of your series, I'm still amazed with the things you can do without a lens.

Beautiful study in textures. Great monochrome processing.

The BW magic is here! reminding me of a fine-art lithograph. The left corner with the trailing vine is just right. The way the leading lines cross places the 'flower' at a perfect rule-of-thirds. Riveting.

Eerie and creepy. I like it! His white face adds the contrast and makes the shot.

This reminds me of the time I was fishing up in Maine with a friend.

We entered a field with a pond maybe 100 feet away, some small trees there. The small herd of cows were at the opposite end of the field. Of course they all looked our way just like in the photo here. We proceeded toward the pond when maybe half way there my friend said "hey John look.' I turned around to see the herd maybe half the distance closer, not moving, just staring at us. We hustled up a bit. Not two steps more and I heard the sound of them charging us. We ran for our lives. Just made it to the small stand of trees bordering the field. Hiding behind said trees the cows stomped past. They ended up back in the field just staring our way. We decided to leave.

Nice photo.

That cow looks unnaturally long... is it perhaps a bulb cow?

This is massive. Reminds me of your other beach images.

I like the vignette effect. So how do you pick the f number?
