Very artsy and intense, Roz. Boring - au contraire. Crop is great on this.

I enjoy the timelessness of this... the individual grass strands, and the dof. Very serene.

Are you kidding? Not boring at ALL! This is very artistic, in fact, I saw a modification of this once as a ribbon winner. It's the sparkly bokeh background that makes this such a standout!

Great job, Roz!

I think that as a B/W conversion it is nice, the image shows nice grays, the vignette adds interest. As a picture, I'm not sure it's the best choice of picture to convert to B/W. I sort of imagine that this kind of picture could rely heavily on colour for its impact, a dark cross like silhouette in front of a moody ink blue sky with touches of red, white moon in the distance.

As a composition, I don't know, the moon is very small, the back post is somewhat out of focus, and overall the image doesn't have that much interest. I think it's a great idea to work off.

I'm wondering - you converted to B/W in RAW? Your options are more limited converting to B/W in RAW than in PS. You may want to try converting in PS - you probably already have, so what am I talking about :)

Beautiful silhouette. Has a very creepy feeling but in a good way.

Roz, the wire leads my eye up into the foreground cross and then down and into the background cross. Nice flow.

I like the silhouette here. The moon is interesting, but I'm having a hard time with the tilt in of the subject. Perhaps straighten a bit, or shoot without the second post (if possible). I like the concept of the cross and the moonlit sky. Perhaps make the clouds 'pop' a bit more? It's a nice shot!

i like being forced to look at something in a different way
really cool exposure as well
the crop seems a little bit tight to me, but thats it!
great work!
