Leland - one of my favorite places to shoot. I especially like this in B&W because of all the old wood.

Hello from the Critique club

An appealing image that meets the challenge

I can see why this place appeals to you so, it appeals to me too, all those lovely old wooden structures and walkways. I generally like your composition, the river with its reflections an ice shapes is enticing. I like that you have converted it to mono however the tonal range and contrast is somewhat limited, you should have made much better use of the filters to emphasise certain aspects of the image more then others. The one thing that really lets the shot down is the blown sky which in itself is something to be avoided but it is also very dominant in the image overall. I think you could have greatly improved the end result by tilting the camera down to avoid this bright sky so that the you excluded it in preference for more walkway foreground. You would still have had an interesting sky in what was left of it.

Thank you for your entry in this very demanding challenge

This looks like a very interesting place to hang out for a while, I like the composition and the exposure. I think the focus is very well done and it looks good in black and white, it also looks very cold out :-)

lacks contrast and tonality its all a bit the same shade of grey, blown out sky doesn't help, searching for something for my eye to be drawn towards, seems like a snap shot more than a composed image.
