Great choice for B+W. I actually like the hint of the cross in the background that echoes the subject better than if it was popped through HDR.

Cool tower. Focus looks a little softer on the top than on the brick. Not sure if that's just because of the contrast with the sky, or a wide f-stop thrown off by the camera angle. You're right that architectural shots often look better straight on than at an angle up, but this one has some nice elements and framing to it.

Too funny. Guess you felt like you were going round and round on your walkabout! Nice group of pics you came away with. Thanks for joining up again this month.

That's a path that's just begging to be walked down. Nice composition, and great use of leading lines, both in the tree and on the path.

I like the colors and forms on this one a lot. Nicely seen subject. You might try a more abstract crop on this one, coming in tight in the middle to just show parts of the slides set off against the brick background. Might make an interesting composition, and take a minute for the viewer to figure out what they are looking at.

Now that is a puzzle how it got there. From the thumbnail, it just looks like part of the tree since it matches the colors of the berries.

Nice composition and colors. My favorite of the bunch. Could make a nice print with a little dodging of the fence in the far background.

Great find. This would have made another nice winner for last month's treasure hunt as well!

Nicely seen, especially the way the light hits the rocks. This looks kind of like a trail marker; I often collect rock pile shots like this I find along hiking trails.

Nice DOF work. I like the out of focus leaves in the background, and the nice colors there as well.
