It's that funny lens again, it's making you even better, such dynamics in proportionality.

not a fan of miniaturization effects, but I found this one very appealing.

A tad surreal. Quite interesting.

This is very dark, I'm not sure what I'm looking at

Might be a nice valley, but I can barely see it. Image is too dark, focus is hard to find and the B&W is not very helpful either.

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: What an interesting rendition of this scene. The tilt/shift technique and the underexposure offers up something dark and mysterious - almost claustrophobic in its intensity. I think even the border works - the bright band making the image itself even more oppressive by comparison.

Critical stuff: Nope.

Overall: Fascinating.

The small focal range gives this a very neat feeling.
I'm just wondering why you chose to hose so much of this photo with the giant border.

So ominous.

For me the large white border spoils this by overpower.
